The Challenge
Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning.
But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness?
The Study
For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great?
The Standards
Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck.
The Comparisons
The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good?
Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't.
The Findings
The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include:
- Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness.
- The Hedgehog Concept (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence.
- A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology.
- The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap.
“Some of the key concepts discerned in the study,” comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people.”
Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?

Formerly Smart Podcast Player
Encourage binge listening. Drive conversion to email. Reward fans with transcripts. That and more is possible with our toolbox of podcasting software.
We’re podcasters at heart who dare to build our own tools.
Back in 2015, our co-founder Pat Flynn had a problem. He wanted to delight visitors to his website with the ability to listen to any episode from his podcast. Right there, on the site. Options were sparse, ugly, and just not quite right back then. So we built one. That tool became Smart Podcast Player (SPP), and the podcasting world rejoiced.
We enhanced SPP in the years that followed. All the while, new pain points and innovative ideas emerged as the podcasting industry boomed. We sat on those pain points and innovative ideas for a while. But no more.
Today, we’re Fusebox—the same core team with a new name that embodies our expanded mission to build a toolbox of powerful software to empower podcasters with dynamic ways of energizing their audiences to drive engagement and results.
Our players will always be at our core. But there’s a lot more we can—and will—build to help all of us podcasters take control of our future.
