After finishing the book Good to Great by Jim Collins, I was surprised to learn that there were several measurable factors that made “great” companies standout from their “good” counterparts. It was both encouraging and empowering to realize that there was some framework, some set of principles that can help create a truly great company. As I was reading, I couldn’t help but think of the companies Collins studied as if they were people. Using this perception, I saw that many of the factors that made great companies could also make great people. I’ll explain some of those analogies here.
