Don't Buy Until You Read This First...
This book is very carefully researched. The authors did their homework and you won't be disappointed. Common management hype most people believe is dis-spelled. What's important mostly is getting the right people in your company first. then you can worry about where to place them second. Jim Collins arrives at simple solutions to complex questions and backs up his theories with tons of empirical data.

Not good writing. Great writing.
I read this book in the airport at Munich during the 2 1/2 hour flight delay. Honestly, I could care less about the subject matter. I was bored and my associate had a copy, so I read it. And while I cannot intelligently comment on its business acumen I can tell you: it's a brilliant read. It is written simply and directly. It is easily digestible, clear and concise.
I'm an author. And while my book will never be as highly rated as this one, in its genre it does quite well. My writing style was very much influenced by good to great. Kurt Vonnegut said it best in his first rule of writing, "Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted." I was not only a stranger, I was disinterested stranger... the worst kind of reader. Yet, in a small but significant way this book changed me.
Stronger After Stroke: Your Roadmap to Recovery
Good not great
I bought this book because an organization I am involved with is using the G-to-G framework to focus its activities. Although the point of view is interesting, I think the contents of the book tend toward the superficial. They are indicative of an academic perspective lacking real world experience. The fact that a few years later some of these "great' companies are struggling or bankrupt further reduces any confidence in this particular paradigm.
