The Social Entrepreneur's Handbook:
One of the many beauties of social entrepreneurship is that it’s never too late to start. You can be right out of school or working in the highest ranks of corporate America. It doesn’t matter. Social entrepreneurship begins with a noble cause, which turns into a passion, and soon becomes a mission worth dedicating your life to.Make the business of society your business
No one knows the business of
social entrepreneurship better than Rupert Scofield. Cofounder and
president of FINCA International—a nonprofit microfinancing institution
with 7,000 employees serving 750,000 customers in 21 countries—Scofield
has been a social entrepreneur for 40 years.
In The Social Entrepreneur’s Handbook,
Scofield leads you through the entire process of starting up and
running a nonprofit, sharing personal success stories and advice on what
not to do—valuable lessons he learned the hard way. The process, while
risky, isn’t as difficult as you might think. Practically speaking, you
need only two things: an idea and a plan. The former comes from you and
you alone. This book supplies the latter.
The Social Entrepreneur’s Handbook illuminates the path to building a successful nonprofit from the ground up. SEH: The one resource you will need to attain your dream of working
full-time in service to others—and making a real, measurable difference
in the world.

"The vast majority of companies never become great, precisely because the vast majority become quite good -- and that is their main problem."— Jim Collins
Why Some Companies Make the Leap. . . and Others Don't? If you're looking to inspire your employees or take a leap forward in your career, this read is indeed a Leaping start from Good to Great.— 'How change doesn't happen'.
Jim Collins book begins with a startling and counterintuitive claim: "Good is the enemy of great." We've become so conditioned to think of performance as something that develops along evolutionary lines -- from poor to good to outstanding -- that it takes a minute to grasp the notion that competence can actually inhibit achievement.
Based on an extensive five-year study conducted by Collins and a research team he affectionately refers to as "the Chimps," Good to Great defines and analyzes the practices that allowed 11 companies to make the rare transition from solid to outstanding performance.
An interesting thought: “how much would someone have to pay me not to publish Good to Great...”— Jim Collins— The Study; it's impossible for me to imagine not sharing what we've learned.
Collins's philosophy is summed up in one noteworthy phrase from the book -- "Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice."
We keep looking for change in the wrong places, asking the wrong questions, and making the wrong assumptions. There’s even a tendency to blame Wall Street for the “instant results” approach to change. But the companies that made the jump from good to great did so using Wall Street's own tough metric of success: a sustained leap in their stock-market performance. Wall Street turns out to be just another myth—an excuse for not doing what really works. The data doesn’t lie.
Management guru Jim Collins asks entrepreneurs to do 10 things that will dramatically improve their companies. What are you waiting for?
