“What I have come to love about Mario Morino on metrics is the passion with which he drives power down the line to the nonprofit leaders and to the communities served.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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…

“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….”

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.”
