Stages of Good to Great - Collins

Good to Great - Collins


Stage One - Disciplined People
 -  Level 5 Leaders - ambitious for the cause and the work - not themselves.

 -  First Who...Then What - get the right people on the bus and the wrong people off the bus before you  figure out where to drive the bus.

Stage Two - Disciplined Thought
 - Stockdale Paradox - retain deep faith that you will prevail but confront the most brutal facts of your current reality

 - Hedgehog concept -  thee intersecting  concepts:  what you can be the best in the world at, what you are deeply passionate about, and what best drives your resource engine.

Stage Three - Disciplined Action
- People operate with a sense of having responsibilities not tasks or jobs

- Flywheel - Success results not from one great program or a unique opportunity but rather from relentlessly pushing a giant flywheel in one direction, steadily while building momentum.

Stage Four - Building Greatness to Last
- Great organization prosper through generations of leaders.  Good leaders build "catalytic mechanisms" to ensure continued progress not dependent on personality.  It is a "charisma bypass".

- Preserve the Core and Stimulate Progress - Great Organizations have a fundamental duality:  timeless core values that remain constant and a relentless drive for change and progress.  Such drive may result in Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAGs).
