Good to great: why some companies make the leap … and others don't
Good to great: why some companies make the leap … and others don't
Collins, J.Harper Business2002$27.50 (USA)
Identifies the characteristics that destroy many common assumptions about what it takes to make a company top-of-the-line. Argues that "the right people"are dedicated, innovative and willing to push the envelope, without the typical fire and brimstone approach. Demonstrates that while some of the major companies instill a macho leadership style, others are led by soft-spoken and reserved leaders who possess the professional will to get the job done right. Destroys many common assumptions about what makes great companies, as savior CEOs, new technologies, mergers, acquisitions, change initiatives, overpaid executives and corporate restructuring do not appear to make the good-to-great transition.
