Good To Great by Jim Collins

This book caught by attention by highlighting that good is the enemy of great. Thus challenge the norm of human thinking or what i call "myth".

The book say that good to great company focuses more on who rather than what. Good-to-great leader did not pursue an expedient " try alot of people and keep who works. " model of management. Instead, they adopted the following approach: " Let's take the time to make rigorous A+ selections right up front. If we get it right, we'll do everything we can to try to keep them on board for a long time. If we make mistake, then we'll confront that fact so that we can get on with our work and they can get on with their lives. "

It might take time to know for certain if someone is simply in the wrong seat or whether he needs to get off the bus altogether. Nonetheless, when the good-to-great leaders knew they had to make a people change, they would act.
