Analyzing leadership practices among NGOs in Gujarat: A study

Abstract

In India, NGOs are vital in addressing and resolving economic, social, and environmental problems. Competent leadership is essential for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to accomplish their goals and have the most possible influence. The researchers in this study set out to look at how NGOs in Gujarat, India, handle leadership. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the investigation was carried out using a mixed-methods approach. 150 NGO leaders completed the survey, and 20 top CEOs were interviewed extensively. According to the findings, transformational leadership, strategic thinking, and stakeholder involvement are the three most important leadership philosophies that help NGOs in Gujarat grow. Resource limitations, legal hurdles, and the necessity to develop competence are among the difficulties highlighted by research for non-governmental organizations (NGO) leaders. Scholars, politicians, and NGO practitioners may all benefit from the recommendations on the study's consequences for enhancing NGO leadership.
