" This is the big smash hit from Jim Collins, and you probably don't need me to promote this this book. But you may not know that this is the middle book of a three book series that shares a common methodology and should be read as a group. The first book is "Built to Last", and the final book is "How the Mighty Fall". I actually read them in reverse order due to an odd combination of circumstances, but the three books together tell a very interesting story "

" Of course this book had to make the list, and for good reason. If you're trying to figure out how to succeed in the long term, this is what the best companies do. Practising strategic thinking doesn't guarantee success, but it sure gives you a better chance. "

" Ah, as a small business owner you will be forgiven for thinking that this book has no relevance to you. But it does, it does! It's worth ploughing through - just skip lightly the bits that don't apply. The best stuff is the hedgehog concept and BHAG. Could quite change your business! "

" I'm not a business guy. I am doctor in training. Still, a book about how businesses go from good to great has something for all of us. It is a quick read. Jim Collins writes in conversational style that makes it easy reading for us novice business people "

" Simple explanations for many successful business practices. I thought it was straightforward and a good reminder for any work type situation... But I got bored with it pretty quickly. ...maybe this just isn't my genre because a lot of his observations seem like common sense. "
