Download Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't AudioBook Free
Built to Last, the defining management study of the '90s, demonstrated how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be manufactured in to the DNA of enterprise from the beginning. But how about companies that are not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? Is there those that convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? If so, what exactly are the distinguishing characteristics that result in a company to look from good to great? Over five years, Jim Collins and his research team have analyzed the histories of 28 companies, exploring why some companies make the step among others don't. The results include:
- Level 5 Leadership: A shocking style, required for greatness
- The Hedgehog Strategy: Finding your three circles, to transcend the curse of competence
- A Culture of Self-discipline: The alchemy of great results
- Technology Accelerators: How good-to-great companies think differently about technology
- The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Why those who do recurrent restructuring fail to make the step
