From good to excellent; A book for individual and organizational growth
The book From Good to Great, Why Some Companies Jump and Others Do Not, was originally published in October 2001 under the original title Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap … and Others Don’t. The book from good to great attracted the attention of many managers and investors and was quickly translated into various languages ​​of the world. This book is written in the field of management and offers practical, scientific and experimental solutions for the financial growth of companies.

Collins, with the help of a research team, spent about five years writing the book, using 6,000 articles, 2,000 pages of text, and 384 megabytes of computer data. “I am a teacher by nature and it is impossible to imagine not sharing what I have learned with scholars around the world, and it was in this learning and teaching environment that I collected this book,” Jim Collins said of his motivation for writing the book.
Take a look at the content of the book from good to great
From good to great is not a simple book; It is a scientifically backed article that can be a useful reference for companies that want to grow and change their position in the market. In the book From Good to Great, Jim Collins and his team of 21 ask, “Can a company be a great company?” “And if so, how?” answers. Collins refers to “excellent” in the name of the book, significant growth and achieving better financial condition than partner companies in a certain period of time.

The book from Good to Great includes nine chapters entitled “Good is the Great Enemy”, “Level Five Leadership”, “First Person”, “Then Goal”, “Face the Bitter Truths (However, Do Not Lose Your Faith”) ), The concept of the hedgehog (simplicity within the framework of the three axes of thought), the culture of orderliness, the accelerators of technology, the cycle of growth and the cycle of destruction, and from good to greatness to sustainability.
His book is based on a very important concept, and that is “Discipline”. Jim Collins talks about three types of order: disciplined people and disciplined thinking and orderly action. Together, they can provide a growth cycle for companies. To-do list and more importantly, making a to-do list underscores the importance of discipline in the work system.

In this work, the author examines eleven companies whose financial situation has tripled in fifteen years. These companies have been selected from five hundred collections and the influential factors in their development process that are accessible to other companies are expressed. “Disciplined people”, “disciplined thinking” and “regular performance” are some of the characteristics that James emphasizes are essential for the growth of companies. At the end of the book, there are four appendices from good to excellent, the selection criteria of which are eleven companies.
The Wall Street Journal writes of the book: “Mr. Collins points out two tempting messages from good to great in the book: that ordinary people can reach the level of top management and those who apply the principles of this book. “They will be able to build great and successful institutions.”

From Good to Great is a clear answer to this question: How do great companies come into being? What is the way to change from being good to being excellent and sustaining this transcendence? This is a question that has occupied the minds of Jim Collins for many years, until he finally came up with a complete answer with the help of his research team, examining hundreds of companies and pulling out the top companies from them based on certain criteria.
The author wants to break the myth of change in the mind of the reader and introduce him to new ways to achieve excellence. That is why he wants the reader to prepare himself for the discovery of a new world of facts and to put aside everything he has learned so far about the ways to achieve great results.

Jim Collins says a lot of what people have learned about success and excellence is just a myth. He found numerous repetitive factors in the careful study of successful and excellent businesses. Finally, these findings prove that change from good to great is possible for everyone and is not unattainable.
From Good to Great is the result of a 21-person team led by Jim Collins, who has spent five years researching the success of top companies. The group tried to study the process of becoming good from great and realized that this was possible.

They also learned how and through what steps you can improve from good to great and stay great for many years to come. Finally, all of these findings are available to everyone in book form.

Excerpts from the text of the book from good to excellent:

In fact, well-known executives who come from outside the organization, and run the affairs, have no role in bringing a company from a good to an excellent stage. Among the executives of companies on the road to excellence, ten out of eleven people have reached the position of management within the organization, while peer companies have tried six times more than others to choose their managers from outside the organization. (Book from Good to Great – Page 22)

Level 5 leaders ignore the needs of selfishness and pride and think of a bigger goal: building a great company. This does not mean that these leaders have no pride or self-esteem. In fact, they are incredibly ambitious, but their ambition is first and foremost for the organization, not for themselves. (Page 35)
Managers who make good to great changes were not the first to choose the source of the movement and then find the right people. They first selected the right people (and eliminated the wrong people) and then set their goal. They were actually saying, “Look, I really do not know what my purpose is. “But I know this: If we choose the right people, put them in the right places and eliminate the wrong people, then we can set a great and valuable goal for ourselves.” (Page 64)
Worthy people are the most important asset. (Page 93)

In his famous treatise The Hedgehog and the Fox, Isaiah Berlin divides the world into two groups: hedgehogs and foxes, which is derived from the ancient Greek saying: “The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows only one very important thing. . » (Page 130)
