Peter Drucker said, “The Salvation Army is by far the most effective organization in the U.S. No one even comes close to it with respect to clarity of mission, ability to innovate, measurable results, dedication, and putting money to maximum use.” Robert Watson —a former National Commander of The Salvation Army in the States— took that quote and wrote a book giving some insight into how the Army can be so effective: The Most Effective Organization in the U.S. – Leadership Secrets of The Salvation Army.

Now, Peter Legge, President and Publisher of Canada Wide Media Limited, has published the Canadian edition of Robert Watson’s book. I’ve not had a chance to read this new edition, but have read the American version and recommemd it. It is not a how-to on leadership, but rather give insight into the things the Army does that makes it so effective.

The Salvation Army in Canada website has posted a Podcast of an interview with Peter Legge where he talks about he talks about his involvement with the Army and the book.
