    A Remarkable Book About How Businesses Can Transform

    Heather Reisman

    This is an amazing look at how even businesses that started out "so-so" can make the jump to being a truly excellent operation. No manager can afford to ignore the sometimes-shocking findings of this remarkable book.

    Must read for business

    Kyle

    2 years ago

    I think this is one of the best foundational books on business available. It lays a clear and simple foundation for building a solid strategy and a framework for looking at successful differentiation and business strategy in general.

    I liked this book much more than "Built to Last" because the advice and learning seem to be immediately applicable to my current situation.

    Every business leaders should read this

    Jacoline Loewen

    • Author

    I first read Collin's research on company leadership back in the late 90s and appreciated the rigourous details. This book is built on the research and theory but is written in accessible language.
    The lessons seem simple but are actually very hard to do in a business. Big Hairy Audacious Goals sounds simple but in fact are frightening to set because it might be embarrassing not to achieve them. This book helps you take those steps in the right direction.

    Good to Great

    jasroach

    Well originally when I first started ready it... I didn't think I was able to finish it because although I loved the message, the style of writing was really annoying... very repetetive and long. BUT if you can stand it up to page 50ish, it changes and gets into it and very interesting.... the points are so crucial to remember that you'll want paperclips to mark out pages. Big bonus is that each chapter has an end summary. Awesome book for anyone struggling figuring out if they're doing the right thing.
