En todos los libros de Jim Collins cabría decir lo mismo: ojalá lo hubiese leído antes. Sus métodos, sus consejos, sus análisis son de gran ayuda para tener una estrategia empresarial firme y consciente de los vaivenes del mercado. Hay que leer todo de este señor.

A couple of years ago, I picked up Jim Collins and Morten Hansen’s book Great by Choice: Uncertainty, Chaos, And Luck – Why Some Thrive Despite Them All to check a few facts. Two hours later, I was still reading. Recently, that happened again.
I realized that I never reviewed Great by Choice for my website, so I picked it up and, just like the last time, found myself still reading a couple of hours later. I think Great by Choice is, Jim Collins’ best book. The partnership with Morten Hansen makes the reasoning tighter and the research a bit broader than in Collins’ other books.

At my previous company, we took some of the ideas from Built to Last as inspiration for the process we used to uncover our organizational values. Then we later employed many of the principles from Collins' next book Good to Great as we further developed the positioning, brand, and culture.
While many of the Big Concepts (TM) expressed in these books may initially seem a bit cheesy and Overly Branded (TM), I've come to love and occasionally use some of the terms like BHAGs (Big Hairy Audacious Goals), the Tyranny of the OR, Level 5 Leadership, and my longtime favorite The Hedgehog Concept. Why?
Because they are just so damn useful. They make the incredibly complex mechanics behind successful and not-so-successful organizations and leaders simple and easy for anyone to understand. They are accessible ideas and you don't have to be a former management consultant with an MBA from Harvard in order to understand how to apply these principles to your own organization.
I'd go so far as to...
