How the Mighty Fall: And Why Some Companies Never Give In Audiobook

" Decent but not amazing. "

" Collins' 5 stages of decline may be cliche but they are a good codification of decline of companies. The book is well written and interesting. He appears to have performed the necessary research and analysis. "

" This was a great book! I have notes on nearly every page! I have to buy it because I know I'm going to reference it and reread it many times! "

" Another good book by Collins "

" Whilst mostly irrelevant to any areas of study or even interest in my life, I found this book highly interesting, as well as entertaining. "

" It is the third in a series written by Collins and is a popular reading for business people for a reason. Interesting perspective on the cycle of business firms and people involved in them. "

" Ripped through this over the holiday weekend. Not nearly as good as Mr. Collins classic (Good to Great), it was still interesting and educational to read. "

" I thought Jim did a great job pointing out what he considered as the "Five Stages of Decline". I think everyone can learn something from this book. It doesn't matter if you own a small business or a large one; there are nuggets to be had! "

" Great research and insight into corporate leadership. "

" Fascinating concept and compelling argument. I loved the book, but felt like the author simply wrote around a Power Point presentation. Maybe that's all there is to the argument. "

" I didn't read this book because I wanted to, but because I had to. I would recommend this book to any business person who needs a bit of an eye-opener on how to conduct a proper business and use preventative skills while running their company. I hate business books. "

" I loved Jim Collins book Good to Great. This is a much shorter book, but it also is packed with great principles for leadership. The research was well done and shows clearly how great companies fall. We can all learn from the 5 stages of decline. "

" Good ... "

" Jim Collins has written a strong sequal to "Good to Great" - "How the Mighty Fall" "

" Great book, talks about alot of the hubris that kills companies "

" Super fast read and gets straight to the point. Very interesting research about major companies and how choices they made along the way lead to massive failure. Very thought provoking. "

" A small book with a mighty clear message. An easy and interesting read packed with useful and specific information and summarized concisely on the inside jacket cover. "

" A short, not particularly uplifting read - but fairly insightful. "

" Good read! Very interesting, makes you wonder were some companies around us are heading in the future... From the same Jim Collins who wrote Good to Great and Built to last. "

" I have learn more from the decline than from the growth! "

" This one has some serious implications for any organization to keep in mind - churches definitely included. "

" Really enjoyed Good to Great but this brief book is caught between a long Harvard Business Review article and a "real" book. A good nugget and anecdote here and there but lacks the substance of Collin's previous books. "

" Great read, great cases, he makes reading about business interesting and fun. "

" Jim is family, of course he gets 5 stars from me!! "

" Fascinating concept and compelling argument. I loved the book, but felt like the author simply wrote around a Power Point presentation. Maybe that's all there is to the argument. "

" Got this book free from Jim Collins himself. :) (!) "

" Jim is family, of course he gets 5 stars from me!! "

" not as great as good to great. Good at best. Still insightful, still worth reading, just not as interesting. "

" This book would be great for a business person. Since I am not one I found it too be pretty boring. I listened to it because we had it and it was short but I really did not enjoy it. "

" This book was recommended by Dwayne Milley, the Executive Director of CH in Toronto. It was a good read especially in light of the failings of the CHildren and Youth Services district in Toronto. Lots of good insights. "

" This was a great book! I have notes on nearly every page! I have to buy it because I know I'm going to reference it and reread it many times! "

" Really quick read, once you read the first chapter that outlines what the stages are, you really don't need to read the rest. "

" Good read! Very interesting, makes you wonder were some companies around us are heading in the future... From the same Jim Collins who wrote Good to Great and Built to last. "

" I can remember a place where I saw this firsthand! "
