Good To Great
About the Book
Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t is a bestselling business book by Jim Collins that explores how ordinary companies transform into exceptional, long-lasting performers. Based on extensive research of companies that achieved sustained greatness, Collins identifies key principles that drive this leap from “good” to “great.”
The book introduces influential concepts such as Level 5 Leadership (humble yet determined leaders), First Who, Then What (getting the right people before setting strategy), the Hedgehog Concept (focusing on what you can be best at, are passionate about, and drives your economic engine), a culture of discipline, and using technology as an accelerator rather than a driver. Collins also emphasizes the Flywheel Effect, where consistent small efforts build momentum over time. Overall, Good to Great provides a research-backed framework for building organizations that achieve sustained excellence.
