Good to Great Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don’t was written by Jim Collins after asking himself how it may be done. He then went on a quest to determine what steps needed to be taken. The first thing he realized is that there are no fast tracks to the top. He chose to focus on certain companies who all were in the same boat when it came to the main cause of success. Employees who really displayed the corporate model were looked to as building blocks for the company. The companies Collins focused on all had their focuses in the same place regarding their corporate model. More important than anything else they stressed was the ability to make responsible decisions on a daily basis. Many people think of businesses making the leap as a result of some common reasons. The best business strategy, best products, or best technology were not needed by these companies. Focusing on corporate values that they held dear to their heart and then building around them was the best strategy. So if you are looking to take your business from good to great you would be doing yourself a great service by reading Jim Collins book. Many specific examples are uncovered throughout the years of research he put into writing the book. Not only are these examples detailing successes, but also many that failed at it. This allows the reader to get both positive examples and negative examples in order to compare what they are currently doing in their company.
