Good to Great
20/10/2008
There are many great concepts and quotes in the book by Jim Collins "Good to Great". One the I particulary like and I find quite challenging is: "Greatness is not a matter of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is a matter of conscious choice"
He also talks about the fact that good is the enemy of great. Meaning that organisations do not achieve greatness as a result of planning to be good.
The book by Collins is definitely interesting, particularly has also published an accompanying book. "Good to Great in Social Sectors - Why business thinking is NOT the answer"
I am sure thinking from this book will feature in future blogs.....
