Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't
James C. Collins
Hardcover, 300 pages.
Very good condition
Former owner’s name inside, otherwise very good condition.
Rigorously supported by evidence, his findings are surprising - at times even shocking - to the modern mind. Good to Great achieves a rare distinction: a management book full of vital ideas that reads as well as a fast-paced novel.
It describes how companies transition from being good companies to great companies, and how most companies fail to make the transition.
"Greatness" is defined by Collins by a company that achieves financial performance several multiples better than the market average, over a sustained period.
Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that had made the transition from good to great - and sustained that performance for at least fifteen years.

Poll: What do you think of the new police move-on powers?
Central Hamilton businesses are welcoming police being given new powers to move on vagrants, with a city retail advocate saying the previous hands-off approach wasn’t working.
On Sunday the Government announced it would grant police powers to order any individual rough sleeping, begging, or displaying disorderly behaviour to move on.
