After a five-year research project, Jim Collins concludes that good to great can and does happen. In this audiobook, he uncovers the underlying variables that enable any type of organisation to make the leap from good to great while other organisations remain only good.

Good to Great achieves a rare distinction: a management book full of vital ideas that reads as well as a fast-paced novel.

In hindsight, taking a different direction may seem easy, but these bet-the-company moves involve drama, doubt, and high tension.
