Great By Choice - Jim Collins

With a team of more than twenty researchers, Collins and Hansen studied companies that rose to greatness—beating their industry indexes by a minimum of ten times over fifteen years—in environments characterized by big forces and rapid shifts that leaders could not predict or control. The research team then contrasted these “10X companies” to a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to achieve greatness in similarly extreme environments.


The new findings

The study results were full of provocative surprises. Such as:


The best leaders were not more risk taking, more visionary, and more creative than the comparisons; they were more disciplined, more empirical, and more paranoid.

Innovation by itself turns out not to be the trump card in a chaotic and uncertain world; more important is the ability to scale innovation, to blend creativity with discipline.

Following the belief that leading in a “fast world” always requires “fast decisions” and “fast action” is a good way to get killed.

The great companies changed less in reaction to a radically changing world than the comparison companies.
