    Good to Great

    Jim Collins's study of companies that moved from good results to great ones and stayed there. It introduces ideas many nonprofit leaders now use: level 5 leadership, first who then what, confronting the brutal facts, the hedgehog concept and the flywheel. Collins's website offers free tools to go with it, including a diagnostic tool, a discussion guide and a vision framework.

    Good to Great and the Social Sectors

    A short monograph in which Jim Collins applies Good to Great to nonprofits, schools, hospitals and other social sector organisations. He covers how to define and measure greatness without profit, how to lead when power is spread out, how to get the right people when you can't pay much, how to rethink the hedgehog concept around passion, best at and resource engine, and how to turn the flywheel through brand. It runs to about 35 pages.
