ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In Good to Great, Jim Collins explores how companies transition from being merely good to achieving sustained greatness. Through rigorous research, the study identifies key factors that differentiate exceptional companies from their ordinary counterparts.

It examines how these elements contribute to a flywheel effect, where consistent effort builds momentum and leads to breakthrough results. The research contrasts good-to-great companies with comparison companies to reveal what truly drives lasting success.
