   Jim Collins delivers a great book again. It's a great book for entrepreneurs. Also, this book is unique among his works in that is includes a summary of all his other books--that section alone is worth the entire book. Highly recommended for leaders of organizations, not just business leaders. Jim Collins delivers a great book again. It's a great book for entrepreneurs.

   This is a must-read. Although it's an update from an early book, everything in it is as modern as it was when first written. If you have a smaller company, this is a must-read. You'll walk away with more actionable ideas than you can implement in years, much less months. This is a must-read.

   This was an excellent read, as all of Jim Collins' books have been. However, I have a real problem with the fact that almost every idea that Jim later develops in his supposedly inductive approach to research was already present in the 1992 version of BE. This greatly undermines all those self-proclaimed "discoveries" found in Built to Last, Good to Great, Great by Choice, and How the Mighty Fall. Don't get me wrong, I think there is much truth here and knowledge to be gained by reading these bo This was an excellent read, as all of Jim Collins' books have been.

This greatly undermines all those self-proclaimed "discoveries" found in Built to Last, Good to Great, Great by Choice, and How the Mighty Fall. Don't get me wrong, I think there is much truth here and knowledge to be gained by reading these books, but the source of this truth is closer to a humanities approach than the rigorous analysis claimed endlessly in Built to Last and Good to Great. Jim's gift is that he's a great storyteller. He brings well known and well-documented knowledge from strategy courses taught in every university to life through literary analogies, sticky labels, etc. He makes management research entertaining and engaging. That's enough to justify reading all of his work. So, if you're looking for a great read about strategy and organization theory, then this book will be up your alley, but prepare yourself to look past the ridiculous claims of analytical rigor and original insight. Those are a stretch. Collins is a brilliant wholesaler of knowledge, but he's not a manufacturer of it, no matter how emphatic he might proclaim otherwise. Enjoy!

   If you ever read any Jim Collins book, you know what to expect. Consider it another great delivery on the same approach as beyond entrepreneurship from the 90's. I would advise any entrepreneur, or director of any organization, not to use it as a bible, but at least to consider it as a roadmap for good practices. Even if you read the original BE from 1992, you'll find that the core message is the same, the rules are the same, but the case studies progressed and some of the concepts were refined.

It's not a light read to do while you're distracted, and it truly broke two records on my side: -amount of notes taken on a single book -time to finish a single book and both are good signs :)

   I’m feeling happy and encouraged after I finished the book. - One, because Jim refreshes and provides more insights into important leadership and management lessons. - Two, because the core of the messages remains the same: getting the right people, setting up the visions, living up to level 5 leadership, managing and enabling tactical excellence etc. I’m encouraged that I can also lead and be 2.0- if I remain focus and consistent in practicing whatever described in this book.

   All his work is now available in The Map. 30 years of study. Worth every letter of reading. Thank you Jom Collins.

   A beautiful structuring and redefinition of what corporate/business culture should look like.

    Świetna klamra do prawie 30 lat pracy Jima Collinsa. Stare koncepcje trzymają się nadal dobrze. Zostały jedynie uzupełnione o nowe przemyślenia. Przepis na cechy lidera no i w szczególności jak stworzyć wizję i czym ona jest. Może jestem uprzedzony - bo lubię Collinsa. Zamierzam przetestować akurat tę koncepcję określania core values, misji oraz BHAG.
