Given the enormous success of Built To Last, which Jim Collins wrote with Jerry Porras, there has been intense interest in Jim's follow-up work, Good To Great. Collins led a team of people to investigate how companies successfully moved a good organization into a great one. This SuccessTools discussion guide was developed to share a number of critical lessons from the new book, including: 1) why it's important to pick the right people, 2) why you have to face brutal facts, 3) why you need a simple concept to drive your entire business, 4) why it's crucial to become rigorously disciplined, and 5) why technology is best used to accelerate, not steer, a business. SuccessTools is a BH SmartDoc which provides a way to think about and start a key element on a management to-do list. BH SmartDocs are published by BrownHerron Publishing and are sold exclusively by Amazon.com.

Summary: It's worth the money!
Comment: I almost did not buy the Discussion Guide because of the negative reviews. And I have to say that if your looking for a masterpiece discussion guide, you have the wrong download. But for the price, I don't know what the the negative reviewers were looking for! I would agree that you still need to read the book, but if you need a good brief outline of the main concepts and some good questions to do a short presentation/discussion on Good to Great, this is it. If I had to pull this together, I would have spent several hours on it. It was well worth my money!

Summary: Good and great
Comment: I ordered this in spite of the negative reviews, because I have found so many of these short e-docs perfect when I need to have an awareness of a subject in a hurry. In this case, it also helped me decide to spend the money on the book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Waste of Money-- 5 pages of nothing ....
Comment: Save your money and just make a guide yourself. This "discussion guide" has only one title page and then four pages of large font bare basic summary with a small sprinkling of questions. If you think that this is weak, you will go on to realize that the last of the four pages is even half taken up with the publisher's logo and information. If you hold the print out close to your ear... you can hear your money being flushed down the drain!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Read the book
Comment: The book, Good to Great, is one of the best management books I've ever read. However, the discussion guide could have been put together by a high school student thumbing through the pages and picking out the highlighted sections. I was expecting something as outstanding as the book. Save your money on the guide, but take the time to read the book.
