Social Sector Hero: How Government and Philanthropy Can Fund For Impact: Unique
guidemap for Results Based Accountability in the social sector
There have been countless books written for business leaders about improving
their organizations, but non-profits have been mostly overlooked. (This is
understandable given the ability of social sector firms to hire consultants or
pay for organizational coaching services.)Social Sector Hero therefore fills a
valuable gap. This books will empower and inspire non-profit leaders to build a
measurable common purpose roadmap to tangible results. But more, it will serve
grantees and funders that are looking for a coherent roadmap for improving and
demonstrating their results and the impact they make.Here are some of the things
I learned and the reasons I liked this book:The author gives numerous examples
how non-profits devised measures and used scorecards to track progress towards
their goals and how they leveraged these tools to reassure and encourage funders
to contribute to their missions.The book lays out a blueprint for creating a
high-impact social sector organization.Understand with examples how
“Turn-the-curve” thinking leads to accountability and alleviates the
powerlessness in the face of apparently insurmountable social challenges.Learn
how you can use a grant application process to start creating alignment with
your partners.Find great resources for further study for readers and shares fun
movie references to make the author’s points resonate more powerfully.Discover
how to use Dis-aggregation of data and Incrementalism to make meaningful
progress.Why you should always look for the story (context) behind the data and
how to journal your social sector hero’s journey so that you can make lasting
changes.The case for reporting your data publicly and how to do it.The book also
provides a website with illustrations of the concepts explained in the book.The
author taps into his experience with popular business operating systems such as
EOS and OKRs that help create alignment and results achievement.Read valuable
statistics of racial socioeconomic status, disability-based and gender
discrimination and how dis-aggregating and measuring data can help spotlight
inequities and catalyze improvement actions.Finally the author lists 8 simple
strategies for success in designing measuring and harnessing the power of
data.Every social sector leader, funder or grantee that wants to make a bigger
impact and yearns for more accountability of self, and fellow social sector
heroes, will greatly benefit from this book!

ABOUT SOCIAL SECTOR HERO

For funders, effective data-based decision-making and public transparency are
more important than ever. This book is for government and philanthropic funders
looking to generate a higher return on investment, maximize the impact of
funding on their communities, and improve communication with partners,
stakeholders, and the public.

In Social Sector Hero – How Government and Philanthropy Can Fund for Impact,
Adam Luecking introduces eight core strategies to create world-class performance
reporting systems in significantly less time — and using those systems to
empower your grantees without adding burden.

Far from being dry and theoretical, Social Sector Hero is a highly practical,
hands-on system that has transformed hundreds of agencies around the world.
You’ll discover how each strategy plays out in the real world through sixteen
‘Social Sector Hero Spotlights’ — case studies from real funders and grantees
who have revolutionized how they fulfill their mandates. Using these
battle-tested strategies, anyone in the public sector can conquer their fear of
data, overcome institutional challenges, and seize their ‘hero’s sword’ to lead
their team to success.

Adam Luecking is an author, speaker, and trainer who has spent over 15 years
helping government and philanthropic funders improve their performance and
achieve measurable impact.

As CEO of Clear Impact, he also manages consulting services and technology
deployment to agencies that serve children, families, and communities with the
growing Clear Impact team.

Adam has delivered Results-Based Accountability training and consulting to a
variety of clients and partners in over ten countries. He is also the author of
The Holy Grail of Public Leadership and the Never-Ending Quest for Measurable
Impact.
