"Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength." --Henry Ward Beecher
From Good to Great
Jim Collins, perhaps the most influential management expert alive today, has served as a teacher to senior executives and CEOs at more than a hundred corporations and non-profits worldwide. Collins' 2001 book, "Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap ... and Others Don't," attained long-running positions. In 2005, Collins, a former Stanford University business school professor, wrote a 36-page monograph to apply his "Good to Great" research and insights about management and leadership excellence to the social sectors. In this interview, Collins talks about today's for-profit philanthropy movement, the talent turnover in the nonprofit sector and his new thinking about the business of making a difference.
BE THE CHANGE
Consider how a strength of your own can take you from "Good to Great."
