• Book Review Good To Great Companies – Chapter 2 Summary October 4, 2009
  I find chapter two to be of interest for those in the management area, the reason I say that because it would seem that Jim Collins is saying this is what you shouldn’t do when you are at a high level position.

Sad […]

  **Remembers Billy Madison waiting for the school bus and singing back to school** Although not as glamorous or the fact the bus will fly by me, but same idea. For me though it is all about the focus, and although I finish this weeks readings from 3 out of 4 classes. It would seem that I am going to have to make sure I stay on track during this whole thing.
