Good To Great Jumping
The "Good to Great" series
In his best seller "Good too Great," Jim Collins investigates the difference between business leaders achieving brilliant but short term successes, (Good), and CEO sustaining outstanding results over a long period of time, (Great).
Both leaders select talented partners, and capitalize on their associates' expertise.
Good leaders submit their partners to their views. (An analogy can be made with good riders).
Rather, great leaders adjust their view to fully benefit from their partners' proficiency.
Within this mind set, the pratical application of advanced scientific studies upgrades Good horses into Great achievers.
