IMPLEMENTING GOOD TO GREAT
Implementing Good to Great is based on the best seller Good to Great by Jim Collins.

 A five-year study of highly successful companies found that 10 of 11 great CEOs came from inside the company.*  This makes a compelling case for leaders to invest in the right people and for employees to invest in the right company. But how?

How to confront the brutal facts and then act

• Creating a climate where the truth is heard

The Hedgehog Concept – what denominator is best for your company?

• Intersecting the three circles of life choices

• Being the best: understanding vs. strategizing

• Using the “council”

How to create a culture of discipline—not control

• Avoiding the “I-centric” style

• Inspiring standards, not personality

The role of technology

• How to avoid the technology trap

• Accelerating momentum

• Incorporating it into the Hedgehog Concept

And, finally, putting it all together: The Flywheel Effect

• Building momentum

• Avoiding the Doom Loop

• Ensuring a sustainable transformation that is “Built to Last.”
