Good to Great, Jim Collins

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't, by Jim Collins sets about to answer the question; What makes a good company a great company? And how can a firm become great? Jim Collins bases his conclusions on a five year research project comparing groups who have made that jump.

He introduces many seldom-taught ideas such as the, The Hedgehog Concept, Level 5 Leadership, First Who and The Flywheel, etc.

Since its publication in 2003, Good to Great has become a classic among business books, having sold over three million copies and being translated into 35 languages. Much of Collins' wisdom is timeless.

Good to Great, Jim Collins

Jim Collins, author of the classic business book, Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't, in a recent article, writes, “You must attract and then retain these people and let those who aren’t predisposed to sharing your core values go elsewhere.”

He is placing his emphasis on what he calls having the right people on the bus.

I’ve included a quick musical model to show you how not having good people on board can take an organization in a hurry.

Enjoy!
