Jim's Book, 90 Days to a Winning Community, is an community planning guide for cities, towns and counties
Every day, America’s cities, towns and counties must tackle issues such as improving education, job growth, and government and social services. To help these communities as they struggle with change and look to the future, a new book can help them become a success story. In 90 Days to a Winning Community: A Guide to Achieving your Community Vision (published by AuthorHouse), speaker, author and community coach James T. Dittoe gives an inspirational and practical how-to guide to action planning for community leaders.
Based on a system that has repeatedly delivered real results in actual communities, 90 Days to a
Winning Community explains the ideas behind the system, highlighting several community success stories. A workbook portion outlines steps communities can follow to become Winning Communities, and includes sample timelines, agendas, worksheets and progress reports that other Winning Communities used during their transformations.
