Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't by Jim Collins
4.0
I omitted reading the methodology sections, as I felt little need to question that data sets, and thought the methodology was reasonably well discussed throughout the text of the book.
While I noted that some of the "Good to Great" companies could not sustain their success into current times (this book was published in 2001), I found the principles to be interesting and compelling. I was prompted to read this book based on a management class I was taking that referenced the principle "First Who... Then What". I think that idea is by far the most important take-away of this book. With the right people aboard for the right goals, you can achieve goals and build a great organization.
