A podcast that explores key takeaways and lessons from Jim Collin’s book ‘ Good to Great: Why Some Companies make the Leap’

You should listen to this podcast if you want to to understand how good companies can become great companies. The book, based on a five-year research project, presents a framework of key concepts applicable to any organization. Main ideas include Level 5 Leadership, First Who ... Then What, Confront the Brutal Facts (Yet Never Lose Faith) (the Stockdale Paradox), and The Hedgehog Concept (simplicity within three circles). Key takeaways emphasize getting the right people on the bus first, the importance of disciplined thought and action, understanding what your organization can be the best at, and the power of a consistent, long-term buildup of momentum (the Flywheel).
