Main Lessons from Good to Great Stewart Steven

Influential management professor Jim Collins released the popular Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't in 2001. He researched hundreds of companies to identify sets of "good" companies where one became "great" while a close competitor failed. Collins and his team tried to discover what the "great" companies did differently from the comparison companies and the general market.

The book is a bestseller that has become a management strategy classic on how to grow a successful company and our team has given the book as a gift to numerous organizational leaders. This book will summarize the key lessons any top executive can follow.
Collins learned that factors such as CEO compensation, technology, mergers and acquisitions, and change management initiatives played relatively minor roles in moving from Good to Great. Instead, Collins found that successes resulted from three main factors:

? Disciplined people
? Disciplined thought
? Disciplined action

The book's chapters cover each part of the Flywheel image and explain how the Great companies achieved breakthrough results. This book will has summarized each chapter into a single lesson and converted the lessons into a process that can transform an organization from Good to Great.
