Global Leadership Summit 2010 Day 1: Jim Collins
From the conference notes:
A nationally acclaimed business thinker, Jim Collins serves as a teacher to leaders throughout the corporate and social sectors.
Author of the best-selling books Good to Great and Built to Last, he is a student of companies – how they grow, how they attain superior performance, and how good companies can become great companies.
His writings, based on groundbreaking research, have been featured in Fortune, Business Week, The Economist, USA Today, and Harvard Business Review.
His latest volume, How the Mighty Fall: And Why Some Companies Never Give In, looks at the common mistakes of organizations in a state of decline and what leaders can do to reverse negative patterns and flourish anew.
From my personal notes:
- "Good is the enemy of great."
- "Greatness is not a matter of circumstance, but largely of conscious choice."
- Enterprises, people, organizations, and governments fall all the time – if it can happen to them, it can happen to us.
