Description

Can a nonprofit, a school, a hospital, or a government agency achieve greatness the same way a corporation does? Not exactly — and that’s precisely the point. In this essential companion monograph to his landmark bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins turns his attention to the social sectors and challenges the widespread assumption that these organisations simply need to become “more like businesses” to succeed.

Collins argues that the social sectors face unique challenges that business models alone cannot solve — from the difficulty of measuring success without profit as a metric, to the complexities of leading without concentrated executive power. But that doesn’t mean the principles of greatness don’t apply. In this concise yet powerful work, he adapts the core frameworks from Good to Great — including Level 5 Leadership, the Hedgehog Concept, and the Flywheel — and shows how they can be applied in fundamentally different ways to drive lasting impact in nonprofits, education, healthcare, government, and other mission-driven organisations.

This is not a watered-down version of Good to Great. It’s a focused, thought-provoking extension that addresses the questions social sector leaders have been asking since the original book was published. If you lead, work in, or care about any organisation driven by mission rather than profit, this monograph is essential reading.

What you’ll learn:

Why simply importing business practices into the social sectors often fails
How to define and measure “great” when profit isn’t the bottom line
How to apply Good to Great principles in nonprofits, schools, and government
Leadership strategies for creating lasting impact without traditional executive authority
