Summary: Good To Great Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Dont: A Summarease 10-Minute Book Summary
Good to Great is our business religion at Summarease. Collins' best-selling business strategy book captures like no other the "fundamental physics" of why some companies are able to succeed despite adverse market conditions, while others fail. The genius of his work is in identifying pairs of companies whose circumstances are basically the same at a particular point in time but then diverge wildly, and identifying the common factors that cause this divergence in pair after pair of comparison companies.
As both participants in and observers of many different companies here at Summarease, there have frequently been things that bothered us about companies and the people who ran them, but before reading Collins' book we never had a way to articulate exactly what was wrong. Similarly, we have seen organizations that just seemed to "get it" and achieve success after success in unanticipated ways, but it was not entirely clear how and why they were able to get there, or what exactly had gone wrong once the successes stopped coming. Once we learned the principles of Good to Great though, it became much clearer why organizations struggle or succeed.
The book is rich with anecdotes and profiles of the executives who made good to great happen at their companies. It brings to life and reinforces the basic findings, and it is fascinating and fun to read how Jim Collins and his team of researchers uncovered these stories and organized them into general principles. However, if you don't have the time or the inclination to devote several hours to reading the whole book, or you would like to get a quick preview to make sure it is for you before diving in, the Summarease Summary and Analysis will give you what you need to gain a fairly detailed understanding of the basics of the Good to Great principles and begin to apply them to your company, the social sector or your life.
