5 stars: Great Book
Anne E. Lawrence

John W. Pearson

5 stars: Must Read for Nonprofit Boards
Casey Wheeler

"....

I strongly recommend this book to any nonprofit CEOs or Board Members who feel that too much time is spent on operational issues and not enough spent on planning and policy."

5 stars: Excellent Guidance for Our Trade Association
Michael Cohn

"...We give a copy to each new board member and I reference my copy frequently. I've got an underlined passage every 3-4 pages and over a dozen post-its permanently stuck to the pages I refer back to most often.

Unless the board of your trade association or other organization is already running perfectly, you will undoubtedly find this book of tremendous value."

5 stars: Fram Nails It!
Philip G. Bookman

"...Fram has formalized what I was struggling to figure out. And his approach works.."

5 stars: A Little Book that Yields Big Results
A. Hopf

"Our Board applied the principles in Policy Vs. Paper Clips after the first edition came out many years ago. I can unequivocally state that the Corporate model spelled out in this book works and is responsible for the incredible growth and success my not for profit has experienced over the last 15 years...."

5 stars: Third Time's a Charm
Tom Pierce

"...The 3rd Edition is truly "updated and expanded," as the cover promises. I will definitely depend on it as a resource to help Boards recognize the danger of fiddling with paper clips while strategy burns."
