Reading: Good to Great and the Social Sectors: Why Business Thinking Is Not the Answer by Jim Collins

This monograph stands on its own from his previous work – it is based on interviews and workshops with over 100 social sector leaders.

The book is organized around five issues that need to be addressed for greatness:

* How do you define great without business metrics?
* What is "Level 5 Leadership" in the social sector?
* How can you get the right people on the bus?
* How do you apply the Hedgehog Concept (attaining piercing clarity about how to produce the best long-term results) without a profit motive?
* How do you use brand to build momentum?
