Good to Great

This is one of the best books on business ever written. Very easy to read and even easier to put into action.

Good to Great -- the "fluffless" road to greatness

The CFO of one of my client companies was discussing Good to Great and it caught my attention! He's a smart man with outstanding work ethics, so it would stand to reason he would find this book a winner.

After reading it, I am amazed that someone finally articulated what many of us had suspected -- it isn't about being good. It isn't about hiring a team to come in and identify our "goals and objectives". It is about something much more quiet, and so much stronger. It is getting the right people on the train...and the wrong ones off. It is about working for the organization, not self.

This book has many fascinating facts which, if you keep them in the lead of your thoughts, will help you go from good to great as well.

The road to greatness is not for faint of heart, the under-dedicated, or those who cannot channel their egos into their organizations to work for the common good. BUT, if you are strong, determined and dedicated to the prize, look out--it's going to happen for your organization!

Definitely, read this book, regardless of where you are in your life/business process.

Mediocre at best

After many years of ignoring the hype about this book (it admittedly has a great name) I buckled and read it. It was o.k. I did find some useful facts and anecdotes in it but for the most part it reminded me of esoteric research papers that I was forced to read in med school and residency -- crammed with #'s and statistics and graphs, but relatively little in the way of real-life applicable insights. Worth a quick perusal. The books by Trout and Ries are much better.
