Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't

About

Good to Great is Jim Collins' landmark study of companies that made the transition from average performance to sustained excellence. Based on a rigorous five-year research project, Collins and his team identified key factors that distinguish great companies from merely good ones, including Level 5 Leadership, the Hedgehog Concept, and the Flywheel Effect. For search fund operators, the book provides a framework for thinking about how to take an acquired business from solid performance to exceptional results. Collins' research-based approach to identifying what drives enduring company performance makes this a valuable reference for anyone who has acquired a good business and aims to make it great.
