Publisher's summary

What can your business learn from the Girl Scouts? Here are the fundamental principles of how Girl Scouts USA is run and why it's so successful.

Millions of American businesswomen, thought leaders, and politicians received their first lessons in salesmanship, money management, marketing, teamwork, and fulfillment in the Girl Scouts. The Girls Scouts has shaped the lives of more than 50 million alumnae alive today. Eighty percent of American female senior business executives and business owners are former Girl Scouts. In March 2012, the Girl Scouts celebrated their 100th anniversary.

Tough Cookies captures the essence of this iconic organization and the principles that have allowed it to build and sustain a 100-year-old organization. Under current CEO Kathy Cloninger's leadership, the Girl Scouts has transformed and enhanced its ability to develop leadership in young women.

Tough Cookies outlines the rise of the Girl Scouts, this recent and dramatically successful shift, and lessons that are applicable to make any business or organization a success. This is an inspiring story of the Girl Scouts' founding, along with leadership and business lessons that can be applied to organizations of any size. No other organization compares to Girl Scouts in size, experience, and resources devoted to developing leadership skills.

A great book

A nice book that I found pleasant. I did not find that the information was what I believed it to be. It was a nice rendition of what Girl Scouts is.

Excellent!

As a father of three daughters, this book is essential. I wish someone had recommended it to me sooner. I discovered it through a recommendation in another book I was reading.
