Why You Should “Put Results First” by Creator and author Hal Williams

I 501(c) You - The Podcast for NonProfit Board Members

This week, we speak with Hal Williams. Hal is the creator of Results 1st and the author of the new book “Put Results First”. Results 1st helps individuals and groups focus on results in each of their functions, activities, processes, and structures.

Together, Michael and Hal dive into the 4 parts of the book, including discussions on defining success before designing a program, how to improve nonprofit accomplishment, and being “achievement based.” This book will help any nonprofit organization greatly improve their program results. It all starts with asking “so what?”
