“An excellent combination of sage advice and ‘how to implement’ tactics, Leap of Reason, while written for nonprofit leaders, is fully applicable to the for-profit world. In particular, the chapters on culture, change, and reason should be required reading for all serious executives.”

James CondonCOO/CFOGeostellar, Inc

“I believe this message is as important for local governments as it is for nonprofits.”

Vola Lawsonretired City ManagerAlexandria, Virginia

“The book is an important leap forward in helping nonprofits effect meaningful, measurable, and sustainable change. Its messages on managing for impact apply similarly to the running of our federal, state, and municipal agencies.”

Lee FisherPresident and CEOCEOs for Cities

“I started reading it out of a sense of obligation and quickly became engaged by your straightforward prose. I read it in one sitting. Not many nonprofit books have that power–at least, over me!”

Barry SilverbergPresident and CEOTexas Association of Nonprofit Organizations

Leap of Reason should be sent to every county executive in the country…. Every elected official that deals with nonprofits should read it.”

“Just finished Mario Morino’s Leap of Reason. Now have a guide for how Playworks is creating our measurements for impact. Thanks Mario!”

Elizabeth CushingPresident and COOPlayworks

Leap of Reason is a terrific resource for nonprofit managers and board members, as well as social entrepreneurs, foundation leaders and informed individual donors…. As a consultant who often works on strategic plans and development roadmaps, I particularly value the savvy framework section and will undoubtedly use some of the key questions and models there in my work.”

“This short book is a great starting point for understanding the importance of nonprofits managing to outcomes. It also has a great list of resources to take you further down the road….”

Ken BergerPresident and CEO, Charity NavigatorA Great Addition to Your Summer Reading ListCharity Navigator blog, 8/4/11

Leap of Reason is “full of valuable insights about a sector that is increasingly important. [The book] is a must read for all involved in the non-profit organisations.”

Long Range Planning2/12

Leap of Reason is unusual among books about measuring results for nonprofits in that it is brief and practical…. Mr. Morino recognizes that measuring results is only a means to an end and urges readers never to confuse measurement with mission.”
