Discipline is the mark of an effective leader
Monday, March 26, 2012 at 09:20PM Jim Collins is one of my favourite business writers. He has taught at Stanford University as well as researched and written about successful companies in “Built To Last” and “Good to Great”. One of the things I learned from these books is that one does not have to be a particular type of person to be a successful leader. Loud leadership and quiet leadership can both be effective.
One feature in his writing is that his insights are the result of a team of researchers he employs in what he calls a “management laboratory” at Boulder, Colorado. Here he conducts research and teaches executives from the corporate sector.
Ten years after the worldwide bestseller “Good to Great”, Jim Collins brings us another groundbreaking work. This time he asks: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not?
