Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap…and Others Don’t

Description

Build an Organization That Lasts

At ELiM Learning Labs, our vision is to prepare purpose-driven leaders to build, serve, and impact their communities. Jim Collins’ Good to Great perfectly complements that mission by answering a critical question: How do organizations transition from long-term mediocrity to enduring superiority?

After a rigorous five-year study analyzing 28 companies and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his research team identified the distinct practices that allow some enterprises to thrive while comparison companies fail to make the leap. The organizations that succeeded generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general market by an average of seven times over fifteen years.
