    Average Rating: out of 5 stars

    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Much needed
    Good to Great and the Social Sector is Jim Collins' retort to people who ask how he can apply the concepts in his book to public sector organizations. Running a non profit myself, I find this a compelling read. Essentially he interviewed 100 social sector leaders and tried to differentiate the practices that induce success there that may not do the same in the corporate sector. Please realize that it is very, very short, perhaps 5% of the length of Good to Great.

    Another book that was ... Read More


    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good to Great & Strategic Planning
    We used the Monograph as a precursor to our strategic planning process. It was very helpful in generating a shared vocabulary for the planning process.

It is even a good stand-alone read for non-profit leaders, although reading both books is the best way to get the most out of the concepts. As a non-profit theater, this book is a great tool to lead us in journey towards ... Read More

    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Taking a non-profit from Good to Great
    As a social entrepreneur and current business school student, I was fascinated by Collins' work in Good To Great, and I am thrilled that he has provided this monograph to answer the questions that many of us the social sector have been wrestling with since his Good To Great publication was first released.

    Unlike most publications about this sector, Collins directly provides interesting insight into accountability measures for social sector organizations, as well as the characteristics ... Read More


    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent companion addressing not-for-profits' unique needs
    Jim Collins is the author of "Good to Great," an influential business and leadership book.In the time since the publication of the book, Collins realized that there exist points of disconnect within the book for leaders of not-for-profit agencies (e.g. churches, local charitable organizations, groups that exist for specific causes like disease eradication or the advancement of art).In an effort to apply the concepts of "Good to Great" to the unique needs of social service organizations, this monograph ...
