The Global Leadership Summit: Jim Collins

Five Stages Of Decline
- Hubris born of success
- Undisciplined pursuit of more
- Denial of risk and peril
- Grasping for salvation
- Capitulation to irrelevance or death
Bad decisions taken with good intentions are still bad decisions
Great leaders have two things in common, they know it is not about them, and they never give up.
Undisciplined pursuit of more will bring down the mighty
Regulate growth and reach by asking “Do we have all the right people in all the right seats.” If the answer is no, then you should not move forward.
Greatness is never a single event
Businesses that have lasted are driven by purpose greater than money or success
The greatest businesses think about core values above all else
If we lose our values, we lose our souls. If we lose our soul, we lose it all.
The best leaders ask more questions and give less answers
You may have a to-do list. Create a stop-doing list.
You can double your reach to young people by changing your practices, not your core values
