"The Discipline Framework - Small or Big - Business or Personal - a platform for excellence"

Required reading if you want to at least appear to know how a company should be built. Can you guess the first step. Disiplined people followed by disiplined thinking. Geeh, I bet the two go together like milk and cookies. Ahhh, disipline is so rare indeed."
"The Best Busines Book I have Read"

If I had to recommend just one business book to someone it would be this one. There are so many concepts here that I use on a daily basis e.g. " good is the enemy of great". I do not want to be "good" anymore and react strongly when anyone in my team aspires to being good.
My wife Lola is a mother who "washes her cottage cheese". To me that says is all. She is a great mother. The Hedgehog concept, the Stockdale paradox it goes on and on.
The real message here, which is not new but which is eloquently understated here, is that success in business is about who you are not what you do or how you do it. That was a pretty big breakthrough for me.
It was underlined when a former business partner scoffed at my suggestion that they read the book and learn from its principals and they personify the "how not to do it" part of the book i.e. good companies not great ones.
So..... fascinating stuff with real world applications and a wider, almost spiritual, message.

I received this book promptly and in excellent condition. It has a lot of data and studies of companies which can be dry at times but the principles that this book teaches are critical for anyone looking to start a business or take their business from good to great. I definitely recommend it.

Good to Great presents some novel theories on business management that go against many commonly held beliefs. For example, it supports the theory that humble, subdued executives are required for sustained growth while superstar executives hurt rather than help a company's chance for greatness. However, the study in the book fails to prove that the factors for success apply to all organizations, as it claims. In fact, the study falls short in three areas: 1) its empirical evidence shows high correlation between the factors and greatness, but it is incapable of showing causation. 2) The study claims that all seven listed success factors are necessary for a transition to greatness, but it does not show that the seven factors are sufficient. The Experiment, where researchers would iteratively guess at a theory and then test it leaves a lot of room for missing an important and required success factor. 3) The study never proves applicability to organizations outside the list of 28 studied companies during the studied time period (from about 1970 to 2000).

I had to read this book for a management class and discovered that it was an easy read with a lot of interesting examples of real-world organizations and the methods that they used to become renowned organizations.
