Good to Great

Can a good company become a great one? If so, how?

After a five-year research project, Jim Collins concludes that good to great can and does happen. In this book, he uncovers the underlying variables that enable any type of organisation to make the leap from good to great while other organisations remain only good. Rigorously supported by evidence, his findings are surprising - at times even shocking - to the modern mind.

Good to Great achieves a rare distinction: a management book full of vital ideas that reads as well as a fast-paced novel. It is widely regarded as one of the most important business books ever written.

Critic reviews

...the biggest selling and most influential management book of the new millennium.

...seminal...

...a must-read...

Peppered with dozens of stories and examples from the great and not-so-great, Collins lays a well-reasoned roadmap to excellence that any organisation would do well to consider. Like Built to Last, Good to Great is one of those books that managers and CEOs will be reading and rereading for years to come.

in this category (management books) there is nothing to touch Jim Collins... It is essential reading.

Buy the book, skip the audio!

I love Jim Collins' books, read them all and give Good to Great to my small business consulting clients ... so I purchased the Audible version looking forward to an easy listen while meditating on the concepts (something I like to do with books I study). Collins' explosive style of speaking is jarring to say the least. It's like listening to a ten-hour keynote address!

Went from Good to Great reading

I really enjoyed this. There's lot of great insights to help me get to grips with our company's growth.

The best explanation why love is the answer

This has been one of my top 5 book for over a decade. This reading is great with helpful assides.

Fiets who, then what. Key player matter most and need to be level 5 leaders.

Great book, not just for business but a lot of the concepts extend to life in general.

Great Business Book

Recommended by a successful CEO, now I know why. Very insightful book with several key topics. Summary would not do it justice and would highly recommend to anyone and everyone. The fact that it is ready by Jim Collins gives the book alot of depth that is highly appreciated. 5 out of 5 for sure.
