Just finished Good to Great by Jim Collins. Tempted to start right back up again on page one. Excellent reco @steviedove @Zappos @ceesutt @andrewdumas.
Chapters to spark your memory:
Good is the enemy of great Level 5 leadership First who… then what Confront the brutal facts (yet never lose faith) The hedgehog concept (simplicity within the three circles) A culture of discipline Technology accelerators The flywheel and the doom loop From good to great to built to last
Everything from cutting-edge scientific ideas to a new philosophy of learning to art that honors living in the moment
Have at it.
