Good to Great and the Social Sectors: A Monograph to Accompany Good to Great  
by Jim Collins

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

All I have to say is – Wow!  Every tax-exempt organization leader should read it.  If you haven’t read Good to Great, it contains enough of an explanation of the principles that you can understand it – and you’ll probably want to read Good to Great next, because you’ll be hooked.  If you have, you’ll really appreciate the thought and the examples that Collins brings.
