F. John Reh from about.com Guide " Collins calls Good To Great a "prequel" to his hugely successful Built To Last. I call it the most important Business Leadership book I have read in a long time. 1997's Built To Last was a great book. It set a target for all of us. However, it left out critical information, because those companies were already great. What about those of us struggling to move our companies from Good To Great as opposed to those trying to hold on to greatness? The missing piece is clearly identified in Collins' Good To Great.” []

Randal Chinnock Optimum Technology “I’ve read many business books, but this one stands out. I highly recommend it for 3 reasons: []
 * 1) Jim Collins clearly identifies the three critical factors to running a great business of any size.
 * 2) He develops a compelling profile of what it takes to be the leader of a great enterprise in the modern day. And it is probably NOT what you think it would be.
 * 3) He demonstrates the building of successful enterprises //as a result of// ethical behavior rather than //despite// the perceived compromises ethical behavior brings. This is an especially relevant issue in the current climate of corporate scandals.”

P. K. Shiu Reviews Good to Great “This book by Jim Collins is an easy read. I picked it up just before a trip and couldn't put it down. So I took it on the plane and read through 1/3 of it by the time the 7 hours flight is over. This book struck a chord with me as I am living through the lifecycle of a maturing start-up company. I can recall examples of each point that Collins made in his book from my experience.” []

Business Pundit Book review by Rob May There is usually information in what someone **doesn't** say. Long time readers may have noticed that I have never reviewed one of the most popular business books of all time – " [|Good to Great] ." Call me a heretic, but I'm not a fan of it. It's one of the best selling business books ever, but I think there is too much fluff, and I think the research team made a huge mistake when compiling it. []

Kevin A. Jackson Canado One Magazine Published May 2008 I have heard this book praised as one of the greatest business books ever, cursed as being worshipped too much and over-quoted to the point of nausea. Nevertheless, I came to it with an open mind and really got a lot out of it. []
