Can a good company become a great one? If so, how?

After a five-year research project, Jim Collins concludes that good to great can and does happen. In this book, he uncovers the underlying variables that enable any type of organisation to make the leap from good to great while other organisations remain only good. Rigorously supported by evidence, his findings are surprising - at times even shocking - to the modern mind.

Good to Great achieves a rare distinction: a management book full of vital ideas that reads as well as a fast-paced novel. It is widely regarded as one of the most important business books ever written.

Critic reviews

...the biggest selling and most influential management book of the new millennium.
...seminal...
...a must-read...
Peppered with dozens of stories and examples from the great and not-so-great, Collins lays a well-reasoned roadmap to excellence that any organisation would do well to consider. Like Built to Last, Good to Great is one of those books that managers and CEOs will be reading and rereading for years to come.
in this category (management books) there is nothing to touch Jim Collins... It is essential reading.

one of the best management and team focused books I have read in the past few years. despite the reference companies being fairly dated, the core method is 100% current and applicable.

Excellent, great substance and inspiring delivery

This book could have been 4 times shorter if the author wouldn't keep on repeating the same things over and over again

Good ideas but too repetitive
