About the Book

". . . a unique cross-industry perspective on how to lead organizations to be both high-performing and socially impactful." --Chaka Booker, Managing Director, The Broad Center Social impact is the effect of an organization's activities and outputs on the welfare of human beings, and is key to a healthy society. If we are willing to examine the root causes impeding organizations from achieving their missions and goals, we can then identify and address the roadblocks to scaling social impact. This is especially true now as we enter into this unprecedented era of a strengthening economy with a tight labor market combined with increasing tension between economic, social and political turmoil. Now more than ever there is an increased need to align business and economies in ways that increase positive social impact. Audacious Social Impact examines the "how" by providing key principles, systems, frameworks, examples, and, in some cases, tools that strive to advance meaningful solutions based on performance or outcomes measured through achievement. Drawing on decades of for-profit and nonprofit experiences and secondary research, four focus areas are required to execute a strategic plan in any organization. Author Maurice Woods introduces the four focus areas through practical, real-world examples. The intersection of the four focus areas forms the framework for audacious social impact.

Review :
". . . a unique cross-industry perspective on how to lead organizations to be both high-performing and socially impactful." --Chaka Booker, Managing Director, The Broad Center "It is not often enough that educational practitioners from our nation's Great City Schools step up with a big book that discusses lessons learned and implications for social organizations of all types. This book is one of those rare occasions, and it deserves to be read now more than ever by everyone hoping to make a positive contribution." --Michael Casserly, Executive Director Council of the Great City Schools "Audacious Social Impact is an outstanding management playbook on how to develop building blocks for creating a sustainable, socially focused organization. It is an easy read that provides a sound framework anyone can adapt for success. The book blends management approaches with a variety of business case examples, which are easy to follow and learn from. This is the first book I have encountered that offers a common sense approach towards constructing a successful organization." --Malcolm D. Jackson, Assistant Administrator & Chief Information Officer, Environmental Protection Agency "Maurice Woods has expertly captured the success factors for those organizations who desire to make a meaningful social impact. Whether for-profit or nonprofit, leaders from across organizations and industries would benefit from reading this insightful, challenging and remarkable guide for creating 'audacious social impact'!" --Lawrence Hamilton, Senior Human Resources Consultant and Executive Coach "Audacious Social Impact guides the reader on understanding how to create and sustain the success of a high-performing organization achieving social impact. Maurice Woods successfully tackles a complex issue and translates his twenty-five years of corporate and government experience into lessons readers can understand and act on." -- Gregory White, President and CEO LEARN Charter School Network "Easy and enjoyable read filled with very practical advice that can be applied immediately. In fact, I have some initiatives in the development phase that I will apply these concepts." --Willie T. Burroughs, Chief Operations Officer San Antonio Independent School District
