Good To Great Is The Best Business Book That I Have Ever Read!!

This book does a great job of making business interesting. It literally reads like a novel. I couldn't put it down, even though I just completed it for the third time. Although I do not subscribe to it in totality, its concepts are based upon thousands of research hours and are well presented with plenty of examples from the famous companies included in the book. I have handed it out to the management team of a recently purchased company and have no doubt that at the very least it will stimulate strategic thinking. I recommend it highly!

7 years, apparently Jim Collins understood "built to last"

I have owned this book on CD since '03 and just this year purchased the hardcover edition. Through his teams research and analysis, Jim Collins has constructed a potentially timeless classic for business people and leaders. GTG will add to your professional talents, it is inspiring and compelling for those of us that border on obsession with our professional lives. This book has helped me to hire and fire. I revisit it regularly for inspiration. GTG is truly an investment in your own future. If you can apply the techniques written about here you will see a difference in the quality of the life for you and those that you work with daily. The simple concepts of first who, then what and the hedgehog, bring a simplistic and valuable way to approach our day to day challenges. Those very simple core values of GTG leaders are easy to articulate but very difficult to practice and execute consistently. Once mastered they are very powerful and rewarding. Time spent with GTG will certainly provide a return. Don't wait any longer. Your thoughts and opinions are always welcome.

Great Resource

I read this book along with its companion piece for non-profit organizations. It is filled with good, practical advice that can be applied to almost any organization. It's also a very easy read.

Brief but enlightening

There's not a lot to this book, but for me it was a must read. The author explains his findings simply, but since everything is based on research instead of subjective opinion there's really no reason for him to ramble on. I also bought the audio CDs, which I recommend for air travel.
