Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Jim Collins Answers the Social Sector with a Monograph to Accompany Good to Great. 30-50% of those who bought Good to Great work in the Social Sector.

This monograph is a response to questions raised by readers in the social sector. It is not a new book.
Jim Collins wants to avoid any confusion about the monograph being a book by limiting its distribution to online retailers.
Based on interviews and workshops with over 100 social sector leaders.
The difference between successful organizations is not between the business and the social sector, the difference is between good organizations and great ones.

Customer Reviews

Average Rating:

Rating: - 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 recommended to me that we're now using at my organization with great success is The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book. It has brought about phenomenal changes in our management and our culture.

Rating: - 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. As a companion for non-profits to the book "Good to Great," it is easy to grasp and answers many questions left open in the book. 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 excellence.

Rating: - Good maybe not great
The book seemed to have info I need but I had trouble trying to figure out out to implement the ideas of the book into my situation.

Rating: - 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 and the qualities that successful managers exhibit in the social sector. As usual, his Good To Great technique of analysis has yielded him not only important take-aways for organizational management, but an intuitive sense of how organizations, both for-profit and non-profit, can truly achieve sustainability.

I strongly recommend this book for anyone who enjoyed Good To Great and has pondered its applications ... Read More
