    Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... And Others Don't by Jim Collins Book Summary — Readtrepreneur

    (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book, but an unofficial summary.)

    What are the variables that distinguish a good company from a great one? Can your company become great? Knowing how to do it is the most important step and Good to Great will be essential on covering that gap. Good to Great does its absolute best on providing the knowledge you need to know to make your company distinguish itself from its competition. There is no need to settle on "good" when it can be great and having the best guide at your disposal is the best way to aim for the top.

    "Great vision without great people is irrelevant" — James C. Collins

    Being the #1 bestselling book with more than 2 million copies sold, Good to Great is the best way to learn how the best companies triumph over others and how your company can be the successful one. This book is not meant for settlers, it teaches you how to improve your position even if you are not in a bad one. Do you want to always strive to the highest mountain? Then this book is for you. Jim Collins stresses the importance of knowing that your company doesn't have to be "born with great DNA" to be one of the greats because what's necessary is knowing when to act and when not to.

    P.S. Good to Great is an extremely useful book that will help your company excel among others. In order to succeed, you need to be competitive, you need to be vicious, and you need to be ambitious.

    • 4/5
      The book is a little more wordy than it needs to be to make its points. Overall, the core observations of what makes a company go from good to great are valuable and worth the read.
