Great by Choice: Uncertainty, Chaos, and Luck—Why Some Thrive Despite Them All

Jim Collins is a student and teacher of enduring great companies—how they grow, how they attain superior performance, and how good companies can become great companies. He has authored or co-authored six books that have sold in total more than ten million copies worldwide, including Built to Last, Good to Great, and How the Mighty Fall. This presentation, based on his most recent book, answers the question: Why do some organizations thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? Collins focuses not just on performance, but also on the type of unstable environments faced by leaders today.
