Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t, written by Jim Collins, is one of the best-selling business books of all time. Having sold more than 4 million copies since it was published in 2001, the management book describes how companies transition from being good companies to great companies, and how most companies fail to make the transition.
As with all books, Good to Great isn’t without its flaws or critics, but, generally speaking, it has stood the test of time as highly influential and a worthwhile read for business leaders. Quotes from the book can still be found all across the internet and on practically every social media platform. Quotes such as this one:
It is one thing above all others: the ability to get, and keep, the right people.”
I think every staff and board member at BGCOR would agree that this accurate. In fact, I think it strikes at the very heart of who we are as an organization and why we exist.
Every single Club runs on a single, driving motivation: we offer safe and encouraging places for kids and teens to go during out of school time to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as Caring, Productive, Responsible citizens.
Caring. Productive. Responsible.
Name one business, one nonprofit, one organization of any size that doesn’t need employees and volunteers who are caring, productive, and responsible.
“The right people”—for companies and communities to not just survive but thrive—are all caring, productive, and responsible. And they are needed everywhere!
By continuing to support the Club, you are helping develop the right people to fulfill every role in our communities throughout the Ocoee Region and beyond. Together, every kid we impact then, in turn, impacts the world around them for good.
You are helping to change the world, one caring, productive, responsible kid at a time.
