We are entering a new era—an era of impact. The largest intergenerational transfer of wealth in history will soon be under way, bringing with it the potential for huge increases in philanthropic funding. Engine of Impact shows how nonprofits can apply the principles of strategic leadership to attract greater financial support and leverage that funding to maximum effect. As Good to Great author Jim Collins writes in his foreword, this book offers "a detailed roadmap of disciplined thought and action for turning a good nonprofit into one that can achieve great impact at scale." William F. Meehan III and Kim Starkey Jonker identify seven essential components of strategic leadership that set high-achieving organizations apart from the rest of the nonprofit sector. Together, these components form an "engine of impact"—a system that organizations must build, tune, and fuel if they hope to make a real difference in the world. Drawing on decades of teaching, advising, grantmaking, and research, Meehan and Jonker provide an actionable guide that executives, staff, board members, and donors can use to jumpstart their own performance and to achieve extraordinary results for their organization. Along with setting forth best practices using real-world examples, the authors outline common management challenges faced by nonprofits, showing how these challenges differ from those faced by for-profit businesses in important and often-overlooked ways. By offering crucial insights on the fundamentals of nonprofit management, this book will help leaders equip their organizations to fire on all cylinders and unleash the full potential of the nonprofit sector.

What to make of a life? It is a question we all wrestle with more than once: How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the cliffs, significant events that can radically change a life? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late? Inspired by relentless curiosity, Jim Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analysing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog. His exploration follows various lives side-by-side, paired together at cliffs, and analyses the different choices made and divergent paths taken. Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success. Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives. Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and so left with the puzzle of what to do next. Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end. What emerges from Collins’s extensive studies – of writers, actors, scientists, leaders and many others – is a framework for understanding how individual lives can be built, sustained and constantly renewed. By examining the long arc of these remarkable lives, Collins tackles life’s questions. What does it take to: Discover a deeply fulfilling role in life – one that you are naturally ‘encoded’ for—and then to find a second one, if the first one ends? Overcome a major cliff—a fracture point that forces choices about what’s next and calls for you to re-envision the years to come? Make your personal economics work so that you can focus on one big thing that feeds your inner fire? Navigate the fog, when you feel uncertain or even outright lost, and build confidence step by step? Build personal momentum decade upon decade, so that your most creative and energetic years are spread across an entire lifetime? Achieve the imperative to “Know Thyself” and apply self-knowledge to each phase of life? And for the first time, Collins movingly chronicles his own story to reveal how undertaking this project transformed him, changing his thinking and reshaping his emotions in fundamental ways. Surprising, story-driven, deeply researched, and uplifting, What to Make of a Life is a book like no other, convincingly showing how a richly fulfilled life is within reach of us all.

Jim Collins, üks meie aja mõjukamaid ärimõtlejaid, toob lugejateni legendaarse ja koos oma mentori Bill Lazieriga 1992. aastal kahasse kirjutatud juhtimisraamatu "Ettevõtluse nimel" põhjalikult uuendatud versiooni. "Ettevõtluse nimel 2.0" koondab Collinsi ja Lazieri aastakümnetepikkuse uurimistöö tulemused süsteemseks raamistikuks ning kaardistab konkreetsed arengusuunad väikestele ja keskmise suurusega ettevõtetele - alates inimestest ja väärtustest kuni strateegia ja visioonini. Jim Collins ei ole lihtsalt juhtimisraamatute autor - ta on legend. Tema teosed "Heast suurepäraseks" ja "Loodud kestma" on vorminud terveid põlvkondi ettevõtjaid, juhte ja strateege. Collins ühendab teaduspõhise uurimistöö, terava mõtlemise ja praktilised oskused viisil, mis paneb isegi väga kogenud tippjuhid teisiti mõtlema ja tegutsema.

What's the roadmap to create a company that not only survives its infancy but thrives, changing the world for decades to come? Nine years before the publication of his epochal bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins and his mentor, Bill Lazier, answered this question in their bestselling book, Beyond Entrepreneurship. Beyond Entrepreneurship left a definitive mark on the business community, influencing the young pioneers who were, at that time, creating the technology revolution that was birthing in Silicon Valley. Decades later, successive generations of entrepreneurs still turn to the strategies outlined in Beyond Entrepreneurship to answer the most pressing business questions. BE 2.0 is a new and improved version of the book that Jim Collins and Bill Lazier wrote years ago. In BE 2.0, Jim Collins honors his mentor, Bill Lazier, who passed away in 2005, and reexamines the original text of Beyond Entrepreneurship with his 2020 perspective.

Referenciado como uno de los diez mejores libros sobre gesti n empresarial, "Good to Great" nos ofrece todo un conjunto de directrices y paradigmas que debe adoptar cualquier empresa que pretenda diferenciarse de las dem s. Despu s de revisar monta as de datos, de hacer miles de entrevistas y de utilizar rigurosas herramientas de comparaci n, Jim Collins y su equipo de investigaci n identificaron los determinantes clave de la excelencia en un conjunto de empresas de lite que dieron el salto hasta conseguir unos resultados extraordinarios y sostenibles. // Reference as one of the ten best books on business management, Good to Great offers us a whole set of guidelines and paradigms that should be adopted by any company seeking to differentiate itself from others. After reviewing mountains of data, conducting thousands of interviews, and using rigorous comparison tools, Collins and his research team identified the key drivers of excellence in an elite set of companies that made the leap to achieve extraordinary and sustainable results for at least fifteen years. How extraordinary? After driving the change, the companies that went from good to extraordinary generated accumulated stock market returns over fifteen years that were on average seven times higher than the general market and twice as good as the results obtained by the world's leading composite index of companies such as Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric and Merck.

NEARLY THIRTY YEARS AGO, Stanford University faculty members Jim Collins and Bill Lazier showed you how to turn an entrepreneurial business into an enduring great company. Beyond Entrepreneurship became a leadership staple, particularly among small and early-stage companies. And while Collins would go on to write a series of famous bestsellers that have sold more than ten million copies worldwide, this lesser-known early work remains the favourite of many of his loyal readers. Now, with Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0, Collins re-shares the timeless insights in Beyond Entrepreneurship alongside new perspectives gleaned after decades of additional research into what makes great companies tick. In Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0, you'll learn how to turn your company into the 2.0 version of itself. You'll be challenged to grow your own leadership as your company grows, from 1x to 2x to 5x to 10x. You'll learn Collins's newest reflections on people decisions, insights that extend beyond his seminal "first who" principle about getting the right people on the bus. You'll learn why luck favours the persistent, and what it means to look for "who luck." You'll learn about the origins of the "BHAG" (Big Hairy Audacious Goal), and why even a small business needs a galvanising BHAG to have a complete and inspiring vision. You'll also unlock what Collins calls "The Map." The Map is a road map that pulls together the key concepts developed from thirty years of research and writing into one integrated framework for building a company that delivers superior results, makes a distinctive impact, and achieves lasting endurance. Finally, you'll learn the lessons that Jim Collins himself learned from the most influential mentor in his life, Bill Lazier. Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0 is the ambitious upgrade to a classic. In Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0, you'll discover that the goal to turn your business into an enduring great company is as relevant - and as within your reach - as ever.
