The Hedgehog concept





What does a hedgehog and a flywheel have to do with great management and leadership. The phrases such as; the Hedgehog concept, Level 5 leadership, Culture of discipline, the flywheel and the doom loop, form the basis of the book Good to Great by Jim Collins. In Good to Great, Jim Collins discusses these and other variables that enable any organization to make the leap from good to great.
This is not a dry read management book. It is very readable and the ideas are based on thorough research of those great companies and the things they did to achieve greatness.
Available at the CEO Library. Phone 9840 5735 or 9840 5737.
