Good to Great
Jim Collins and his research team studied 1,435 companies over 40 years to identify 11 that made the leap from good to sustained greatness, discovering common patterns including Level 5 Leadership (humble but fiercely determined), the Hedgehog Concept (focus on what you can be best at), and the Flywheel Effect (small consistent pushes that build momentum). The book argues against charismatic savior CEOs and silver-bullet strategies in favor of disciplined people, disciplined thought, and disciplined action. Despite debate about methodology, its frameworks remain widely used in corporate strategy.
