For the next stop on my tour of classic books I hadn’t yet reviewed, I revisit Good to Great by Jim Collins.
Good to Great is one of a very small set of classic business books that has fundamentally changed how leaders think about and talk about their businesses. In just over 20 years, the terminology and concepts introduced by the book have become so ingrained in business thinking that, in writing this review, I stopped several times to Google a phrase or idea to try to figure out who, before Collins, had originated it. If you’re a business leader and haven’t read the book, you’ve undoubtedly been influenced indirectly by it.
