How have the nation’s most enterprising nonprofits succeeded in creating and sustaining high levels of impact in a relatively brief period of time? These rapid-growth nonprofits, such as Habitat for Humanity, City Year, Environmental Defense (ED), and Teach for America, are the pioneers of the new nonprofit world, social sector frontrunners who have figured out how to scale their impact exponentially. But what makes these nonprofits not just good, but great, and what management lessons do these social entrepreneurs have to teach leaders of all sectors interested in magnifying their impact? Using rigorous case-based methodologies modeled on Jim Collins’ methodology in Built to Last, this book presents the specific strategic, organizational, and leadership characteristics that propelled these organizations to achieve such remarkable results.
