- For Profit sector Execs should read this too
For profit execs should read this book too if they found Collins Good to great helpful and even if they didn't find his original Good to Great book helpful.
Great takeaway and cross over about new leadership style of less control and more influence style of management/leadership as well as other gems and grids make this a real find!
Also, for profit execs on boards will find this helpful GB.
Rating: - A Great Book for Nonprofit Board Members
I have used this book for board retreats and board training. Collins hits the mark by clarifying how a nonprofit differs from a for profit or business. Too many board members come to the nonprofit sector trying to turn them into "businesses". Collins clarifies the vocabulary, models, and principles to assist those who come from the business world and try to lead and serve nonprofits. A must read for every nonprofit executive and board member.
Rating: - Why "Good to Great"?
I have purchased several copies of this book to give out to Staff and others I feel will benefit. I am doing this with other books I have purchased. The analogy of the "bus" is one I use very, very frequently. As Mayor of my small town, and especially during these hard times, the analogy is at, or close to, the top of my list!
Rating: - Appreciated.
I purchased this as a request from my son for Christmas. He said he enjoyed reading the book.
