Classic read. Although I've encountered a lot of its lessons before in different shapes and forms, it was nonetheless still fun to listen to. Jim Collins is an engaging narrator who is clearly passionate about these yearlong deep-dives he and his team have conducted in the field of business.

I have read this book at least once through 3 degree programs and always find it enjoyable. Collins did get research and made being efficent at work something to be proud of. A great organizatinal book, but my favorite aspect is the leadership component, and the concept of a level 5 leader. A book that can make the transition from the classroom to the home (or beach) easily!

It’s good, but the examples given are dated and hard to relate to. Found myself doing my own research to find modern applicable examples.
