Review title: History has proven Collins correct
Product review: Few authors have the ability to bridge the gap between the theoretical and the practical. Collins' writing translates real-world learning into leadership behaviors. His anecdotes are incredibly telling, such as the executive elevators at Bank of America and the profligate use of corporate jets at Bethlehem steel. His conclusion are contrarian, putting the lie to common management myths such as charisma, bravado, technological risk-taking, and daring strategic thrusts.In 2001 his conclusions were already being proved out by the dot com bust. Three years and dozens of corporate scandles later, time has proved his conclusion more correct than ever. At the end of the day clear thinking, character, and constancy are far more powerful than flamboyance, flash, and financial legerdemain.This book will challenge you to think and act differently as a leader. Isn't that what a good book does?
