What’s it about?
Good to Great is about taking a company that is moderately successful by average standards and revolutionizing it to achieve greatness and excellence beyond compare. Jim Collins and a team of dedicated researchers scoured decades of financial data, news articles, and magazine features to create an intensive database of corporation information. In addition, they conducted scores of interviews with every relevant person they could find.
