Do you want to become an exceptional nonprofit leader? You have a vision, you have a mission, and you have a burning desire to do good in the world. But that’s it. Starting a nonprofit seemed like the right thing to do but it hasn’t turned out to be that simple. Your skills are in driving social change, not in managing people, finding donors, and all the administrative headaches that come with running a business. But it’s ok. All of these challenges are solvable and shouldn’t hold you back from fulfilling your purpose.

After a five-year research project, Jim Collins concludes that good to great can and does happen. In this audiobook, he uncovers the underlying variables that enable any type of organisation to make the leap from good to great while other organisations remain only good. Rigorously supported by evidence, his findings are surprising - at times even shocking - to the modern mind. Good to Great achieves a rare distinction: a management book full of vital ideas that reads as well as a fast-paced novel.

Great Book.
This book is great, I think I have already seen some tangible progress in my actions as a team member, and I feel like my current team have been better functioning since reading it/our discussion. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their ability to contribute to teams, whether you are a manager, or a team member looking for ways to be a better person.

Good guide line.
This book used storytelling to bring home specific concepts being discussed. The characters will be immediately recognizable to anyone who's worked in a corporate environment. The best part of the book is the model at the end, which gives a roadmap and concrete suggestions on how to fix each dysfunction.

Interesting and worth the listen!
The principles reviewed are common sense, but presented in a context easily understood for the listener. The five dysfunctions can fit in any organization or team. As a member of higher education, I can see how we can use these tools not only in the academic faculty but also teaching students as they embark in their professional careers.

As a new supervisor, who heads a dysfunctional team, this book has been a game changer. Who knew that conflict could be so productive. I tried some of the tips in the book and I could not believe my team actually started working together to solve issues. I will read this book over & over again.

Enjoyed this book and it’s concepts, but the narrator will put you to sleep. For a long time I thought she was a computer reading me the story. If you can make it past that the book is a good rate
