Good to Great and the Social Sectors: A Monograph to Accompany Good to…

As a nonprofit professional who had recently read "Good to Great" I was excited to read this follow up monograph. I found the insights to be invaluable but wish it had been longer as I would love to learn more about how to apply the G2G principles in the nonprofit sector. ( )

This book is really a couple of chapters that should be read along with the original book. For someone like me who is running a not-for-profit, it gives a lot to think about. How do we measure not-for-profits differently than for-profit organizations. Why do we treat not-for-profits as if they shouldn't strive to make as much money as possible? The more money I make, the more change I can bring about in the community. This is a book that will simmer in the back of my brain and help me do a better job of managing our mission. ( )

Insightful addition to the original book which was excellent ( )

A compliment to Good to Great for non-profits and social organizations. This is not a replacement but rather a supliment for Good to Great. Read that first to understand the concepts and then read how Collins applies them to social sectors. ( )
