Abstract

Contemporary realities demand that child and youth care managers cast off their traditional avoidance of all things financial. This article offers a jargon-free list of twelve financial "rules" for thriving in turbulent times. Grounded in a concept of client-centered, results-based agency "performance," rules include promoting an entrepreneurial spirit throughout the organization, destroying the "taboo" on open discussion of financial matters, slashing program development time, and spending lavishly on recruitment and universal staff training. © 2002 Human Sciences Press, Inc.
