This book was great! Very empowering and extremely concise as well! Recommend it as a great book to inspire career growth

Just exactly what I was looking for, as the E.D. of a nonprofit. Thought-provoking, indeed!

Wonderful companion to Good to Great to help those in human services and non-profits apply it's lessons to their work.

This book, I read early on in my management career. It was a great starting point to get the ‘jest’ of leadership and the ‘how to get people on your bus.’ Short, easy read, less than 50 pages; I would recommend this book to anyone getting into a team environment or embarking on a management role either in a non-profit or a business. The main points can be interchangeable in both avenues.
The biggest takeaway from this book was that progress is key, and quantifying that progress is the best measure to track your results, in whatever capacity that might be. The next biggest point of the book is ‘leadership is local.’ Being a manager is one thing, but being a leader means, that your team is doing the right thing, following your play, driving results, when you are not around because they believe in the mission and the vision.

A good addition to Good to Great

I would not recommend reading this part if you did not read Good to Great. But after reading the book, as an executive director of an NGO, this was valuable to me to see how the ideas of GtG can be relevant to my work with some minor changes.

Good guidebook.

It explains well why some organisations fail to achieve greatness. It stresses upon making a conscious choice and having discipline to achieve greatness. This book introduced me to "Stockdale Paradox"

35 very useful pages for anyone in the service / non-profit sector.

It’s Good To Great in the Social Sector

This monograph was good for the social sectors. I really like how it related to the work that I do on a daily basis and some of the issues that I encounter as a university administrator and leader in my organization.

Really great, accessible gateway into the nonprofit world. I think this is best for beginners like myself who know little about the business of nonprofits, but I wish it were just a little longer to go into more depth.

Very insightful monograph!

Sin duda alguna varios conceptos son útiles para tomar en cuenta y desconectar el chip que, aquellos que venimos e interactuamos con instituciones con métricas guiadas por el mercado, tenemos embebidos.

El autor aclara en algunos de sus principios propuestas son, más bien, hipótesis y necesitan evidencia formal.

Recomiendo la lectura a líderes y creadores que desean impulsar un proyecto social y que no poseen los recursos monetarios para generar tracción.
