Review title: One star because I cannot give it ZERO
Product review: I cannot believe anybody in their right mind is still buying this book. Collins' analysis was flawed from the outset when it was published in 2001 and 11 years later it has proven to be a failure. Four of his so called "GREAT" companies are Fannie Mae (mortgage scandal), Circuit City (declared bankruptcy), Wells Fargo ($25B bailout) and Gillette (bought by Proctor & Gamble). See a pattern? Great, huh?So much for Good to Great. Didn't anybody learn from his "Built to Last" book when most of the companies touted in that book did NOT last? Wake up people. Jim Collins' goal was to put YOUR money in HIS pocket. He feels GREAT about that.You better hope Jim Collins never puts a company you work for in one of his books. If he does, start looking for another job quick.
