If there is a single idea guiding this book, it would be discipline. Great companies have disciplined people, disciplined teams and disciplined culture. While there are many ideas and small differences between good and great, what stuck with me most is the hedgehog concept which I relate to a winning strategy and the core of an enterprise.

Good to Great hit it out of the park for me. His answer to the question, "why should we attempt to be great?" is worth the price of admission. I found myself making changes to my daily practice as I read through this book. There is a lot here.

If you are looking for sweeping generalizations and a unifying theory of everything, well hey, this offer has all of that and a bridge in Brooklyn that he wants to offer you.
