One of the seminal business books for the last decade, Good to Great, outlines the characteristics that make organizations excel. Jim Collins and his researchers studied companies which outperformed in Good to Great, and followed later with a followups including Great by Choice (with Morten Hansen - author of Collaboration) and Built to Last.
I would assert that Good to Great has influenced business owners and leaders significantly over the last decade and a half with concepts such as the Hedgehog Principle which explores and pinpoints leverage points in business, and the metaphor of “getting the right people on the right bus in the right seat”.
Not a month goes by without me recommending Good to Great to Team Leaders.
You can access a number of videos and audios from Jim Collins at his website here.
As you read the book consider:
What concepts could you immediately apply in your work?
What concepts/ideas do you want to share with your team?
What difference could it make in your work?
