"Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't" is a management book by Jim Collins that describes how companies transition from being good companies to great ones. The study for the book took five years and the team identified several key characteristics of those "great" companies. Below are some important principles derived from the book:

Level 5 Leadership

Good to great transformations begin with a Level 5 leader: an individual who blends extreme personal humility with an intense professional will.

First Who, Then What

Before you figure out where to drive the bus, the right people should be on board. This means great companies hire for skills and expertise, but also for a cultural fit with the company's values and vision.

Confront the Brutal Facts (Yet Never Lose Faith)

Retain unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, and at the same time, confront the most brutal facts of your current reality. This duality leads to success over the long term.

The Hedgehog Concept (Simplicity within the Three Circles)

The idea here is to find a concept that is simple and fits within three overlapping circles: What you can be the best in the world at, what drives your economic engine, and what you are deeply passionate about.

Culture of Discipline

This involves a dual combination of disciplined people who engage in disciplined thought and who take disciplined action.

Use of Technology

Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology. They use technology as an accelerator of momentum, not a creator of it.

The Flywheel and the Doom Loop

Sustainable transformations follow a predictable pattern of buildup and breakthrough, akin to pushing on a giant, heavy flywheel. This contrasts companies that skip the disciplines of the flywheel and jump right to breakthrough, which then leads to a “doom loop,” a cycle of lurching back and forth with no sustained traction.

These points suggest that greatness is not a function of circumstance but conscious choice and discipline.

Collins asserts that the pathway to greatness lies in consistency of purpose, method, and values.
