The second part of session five, is an interview with Jim Collins. Jim may be most well-known for his book,
Good to Great. He recently wrote a monograph as an addendum to
Good to Great, that deals specifically with
leadership in a non-profit organization. Issues from the monograph that they are discussing:
While it may sound like a great idea that churches should be run more like a business, it's the wrong idea, because most businesses are not great, they're average. For example, almost everyone would say that any organization needs more disciplined, focused thinking. But disciplined, focused thinking is a product of greatness, not exclusively of business.
While the output of an organization is, in one sense, difficult to measure, it is critical to have some definate definition of success.
