Book Reviews of Good to Great and the Social Sectors: A Monograph to Accompany Good to Great

Book Review: Important research Info
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm retired from the USG and working for a Management Consulting Company, that has recently developed a Public Leadership Institute. I ordered and read Good to Great and the 35 page supplement for the Public Sector (selection above) which I found very helpful in our efforts to develope concepts for our leadership training curriculum. Collins and his staff did an admirable job of research to support the identification of excellent leadership qualities that can elevate an organization from mediocre to great.

Summary of Good to Great and the Social Sectors: A Monograph to Accompany Good to Great

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.
