Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don’t
by Jim Collins
In Good to Great, Jim Collins asks the question, “Can a good company become a great company and if so, how?” Collins concludes that it is possible, but finds there are no silver bullets. Collins and his team of researchers began their quest by sorting through a list of 1,435 companies, looking for those that made substantial improvements in their performance over time, and discovered common traits that challenged many of the conventional notions of corporate success. At the heart of those rare and truly great companies was a corporate culture that rigorously found and promoted disciplined people to think and act in a disciplined manner. The book offers a well-reasoned road map to excellence that any organization would do well to consider. Good to Great is one of those books that managers and CEOs will be reading and rereading for years to come. –Harry C. Edwards, Amazon.com Editorial Review
Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies
by Jim Collins and Jerry I. Porras
Built to Last identifies 18 “visionary” companies and sets out to determine what’s special about them. The book has been hailed as an instant classic and one of the best business titles since In Search of Excellence. The authors, James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras, spent six years in research, and they freely admit that their own preconceptions about business success were devastated by their actual findings — along with the preconceptions of virtually everyone else. The core myth, according to the authors, is that visionary companies must start with a great product and be pushed into the future by charismatic leaders. Collins and Porras are much more impressed with something else theses companies shared: an almost cult-like devotion to a “core ideology” or identity, and active indoctrination of employees into “ideologically commitment” to the company. An eloquent chapter on the wildly successful 3M describes the company as having no master plan, little structure, and no prima donnas. Instead it had an atmosphere in which bright people were both keen to see the company succeed and unafraid to “try a lot of stuff and keep what works.”

Winning
by Jack Welch (Author), Suzy Welch (Author)
As the legendary retired CEO of General Electric, Welch has won many friends and admirers in high places.
In Winning, Welch focuses on his actual management techniques. He starts with an overview of cultural values such as candor, differentiation among employees, and inclusion of all voices in decision-making. In the second section he covers issues around one’s own company or organization: the importance of hiring, firing, the people management in between, and a few other juicy topics like crisis management. From there, Welch moves into a discussion of competition, and the external factors that can influence a company’s success: strategy, budgeting, and mergers and acquisitions.
Winning is a very worthwhile addition to any management bookshelf. It’s not often that a CEO described as the century’s best retires, and then chooses to expound on such a wide range of management topics. –Peter Han Editorial Reviews — Amazon.com
I have all three of these books in both hard cover and as audio books. I feel so strongly about their value to any businessperson, I have given them as gifts to friends and business associates. No matter where you are in your business life right now, working as an employee, self employed with an at-home-business, building an emerging business enterprise, or growing the next Inc.500 business — there is something you can learn, do or change about how you are currently approaching your day.
Read. Grow. Do. Win!
