Collins begins this book with a startling and
counterintuitive claim: "Good is the enemy of
great." We've become so conditioned to think
of performance as something that develops along
evolutionary lines -- from poor to good to
outstanding -- that it takes a minute to grasp the
notion that competence can actually inhibit
achievement. As Collins says, "The vast
majority of companies never become great,
precisely because the vast majority become quite
good -- and that is their main problem." |
