Download or read book The Goldilocks Challenge written by Mary Kay Gugerty and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social sector provides services to a wide range of people throughout the world with the aim of creating social value. While doing good is great, doing it well is even better. These organizations, whether nonprofit, for-profit, or public, increasingly need to demonstrate that their efforts are making a positive impact on the world, especially as competition for funding and other scarce resources increases. This heightened focus on impact is positive: learning whether we are making a difference enhances our ability to address pressing social problems effectively and is critical to wise stewardship of resources. Yet demonstrating efficacy remains a big hurdle for most organizations. The Goldilocks Challenge provides a parsimonious framework for measuring the strategies and impact of social sector organizations. A good data strategy starts first with a sound theory of change that helps organizations decide what elements they should monitor and measure. With a theory of change providing solid underpinning, the Goldilocks framework then puts forward four key principles, the CART principles: Credible data that are high quality and analyzed appropriately, Actionable data will actually influence future decisions; Responsible data create more benefits than costs; and Transportable data build knowledge that can be used in the future and by others. Mary Kay Gugerty and Dean Karlan combine their extensive experience working with nonprofits, for-profits and government with their understanding of measuring effectiveness in this insightful guide to thinking about and implementing evidence-based change. This book is an invaluable asset for nonprofit, social enterprise and government leaders, managers, and funders-including anyone considering making a charitable contribution to a nonprofit-to ensure that these organizations get it "just right" by knowing what data to collect, how to collect it, how it can be analyzed, and drawing implications from the analysis. Everyone who wants to make positive change should focus on the top priority: using data to learn, innovate, and improve program implementation over time. Gugerty and Karlan show how.

An excellent companion to StrengthsFinder 2.0, The Fit Factors will help you build on your strengths to find the best job and build a great career.This book explains:- How to evaluate jobs using The Fit Factors- How companies and job seekers have different goals- How to ensure recruiters look at your resume- What companies are not telling you about their workplace- Why setting goals needs to happen before your interview- Interviewing the interviewer- What to do on your first day at a new job- The best way to develop in your careerFrom the Author:The goal of this book is to level the playing field between you and the companies you'll work for. I want to help you make smart decisions about your next job and your overall career. In doing so, I'll give away some Human Resources strategy secrets used by sophisticated companies. Fortunately, explaining these secrets is a good thing for everyone involved, because everyone wants you to succeed. On the day you are hired, your new manager and company hope that you will be their next "star" - that you'll end up in the right job, performing well, developing at work and helping them grow the business. By becoming familiar with HR strategies, you'll be better equipped to help them get their hiring decisions right and take advantage of the recruiting process they've created.I've been focusing on how to make the right job decisions for over ten years, from three perspectives: as a consultant, an employer, and as a mentor. Most recently, I've spent the last six years advising HR executives at major corporations on their recruitment, employee performance and retention strategies. Through thousands of meetings with executives, I clearly saw the contrast between employer and employee, recruiter and job seeker, executive and their talented workforce. Prospective employees do not understand what is happening "behind the curtain" when it comes to HR strategy - and if they did, they would be embarrassed at how unprepared they are to manage their own careers.Second, as an entrepreneur starting my first venture during the dot-com boom, I wanted to figure out whom to hire and how to help my team members succeed. Around that time, I discovered a variety of self-assessments that we could use to help tailor our responsibilities to our unique abilities. My goal was to determine which activities people were naturally better at than everyone else at the office and give them a chance to build their job and career around those things.Lastly, as a result of my time inside large recruiting organizations and building my own teams, I found many friends and mentees asking me for guidance regarding their own job searches. In those conversations, I tried to learn more about the person's strengths, interests, and goals, with the hope of helping them understand themselves better and search for jobs in a more focused way. Unfortunately, I found that most people did not have a way to figure out what they were good at, what they wanted in a job, and what jobs would best fit them.The frameworks, diagrams, data and quotes in this book that are the result of hundreds of conversations with managers, executives, mentees, job seekers and individuals interested in connecting what they are good at to what they do at work. Many of the pages had their beginnings as quick lists written over coffee with a mentee or as a grid I drew on the whiteboard as I considered who to hire into my team.Great careers don't just happen - that's why I wrote this book.
