Building an enduring great company is all about disciplined people, disciplined thought, and disciplined action. Based on an extensive five-year study with more than 1,400 companies, Jim Collins will be addressing how great companies grow, how they attain superior performance, and how good companies can become great companies. The core ingredients of great companies include a unique breed of leadership, a sound strategy, an aversion to jumping on technology bandwagons and a culture of entrepreneurial discipline.
Participants in this program will learn:
- How a good company can become a great company
- How great leaders focus on people first and strategy second
- How an organization can know when its strategy is the right strategy
