Benefits of Using this Reference
StrategyDriven contributors like Good to Great not only for its revealing and sometimes surprising findings but because these findings are based on hard data and direct interviews from both the good to great and comparison companies. We found the insights presented in Good to Great and the Social Sectors highly valuable in translating the for-profit company findings of the original text to the behaviors and programs supporting great government and not-for-profit company operations. Many of the best practice recommendations found on the StrategyDriven website exemplify behaviors and practices of companies seeking to move from good to great as described by these books.
