How Good Companies Become Great

Secrets to Success

Some companies are “born” great, others change and become great along the way.  This seminar will discuss how both new companies and established companies become great.

The seminar begins with key lessons about businesses start-ups from Paul Hawken, author of Growing A Business, and Guy Kawasaki, author of the books Art of the Start and Enchantment. 

This seminar then moves on to the research of Jim Collins in Built to Last, Good to Great and How the Mighty Fall discussing the implications for management teams who want to make the transition from being merely good to truly great.

Topics Discussed:

  • The link between great companies and their core values
  • Getting the right people on the bus and in the right seats
  • The Hedgehog Concept
  • Developing a passion
  • The focus of great companies
  • The metrics of great organizations
  • How leaders of great companies differ
  • Why a great company is like a flywheel
  • The Stockdale paradox
  • Why some great companies fall from greatness
