Finished a good book recently: WHO by Geoff Smart and Randy Street.
"The most important decisions that businesspeople make are not what decisions but who decisions." -Jim Collins, Author of Good To Great.
That also goes for non profit organizations!
Good book: Good to Great in the Social Sector. by Jim Collins
WHO
WHAT
HOW
It's relatively easy to figure out What to do and also How to do something.
Maybe a more important decision is WHY we do what we do.
Then the rest becomes easy.
A good book for figuring that out is " Start With Why by Simon Sinek.
If you don't know WHY, You can't know HOW.
"All great leaders have clarity of WHY; an undying belief in a purpose or cause bigger than themselves. It's not Bill Gates's passion for computers that inspires us, it's his undying optimism that even the most complicated problems can be solved. He believes we can find ways to remove obstacles to ensure that everyone can live and worked to their greatest potential. It is his optimism to which we are drawn." P. 134
“If the leader of the organization can’t clearly articulate WHY
the organization exists in terms beyond its products or services, then
how does he expect the employees to know WHY to come to work?”
