Good To Great : Why Some Companies Make The Leap and Others Don’t

Description

By Jim Collins

Collins and his research team spent five years examining companies that went from ordinary performance to sustained greatness, against a control group that did not, looking for what actually differed.

The findings were not what anyone expected: Level 5 leaders who are personally modest and professionally relentless, first who then what, confronting the brutal facts, the hedgehog concept, and the flywheel. Deliberately unglamorous, and built on evidence rather than anecdote.
