About Jim Collins
Jim Collins is a student and teacher of what makes great companies tick, and a Socratic advisor to leaders in the business and social sectors. He has authored 6 books that have sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. His books include:
* Good to Great which examines why some companies make the leap to superior results,
* Built to Last, which explores how some leaders build companies that remain visionary for generations;
* How the Mighty Fall, which delves into how once-great companies can self-destruct; and
* Great by Choice, which is about thriving in chaos—why some do, and others don’t.

#1 strive for excellence
The first step is a conscious decision on the part of leadership to decide for excellence, to decide to build an enduring great company. Often leaders are enduring great individuals, but that doesn’t make for an enduring great company. Leaders must put excellence in the company over “success” in their own individual life. (This doesn’t mean that they give up a good life, but that they are willing to pay the price of leading an Enduring Great Company.)
Differences between level 5 and level 4 leader?
* Humility. This is key to level 5. Deep genuine personal humility combined with a brutal will, a fierce resolve directed at something that is not about them
* Leadership: People follow when they have the choice to not follow… otherwise it is just power.
* Charisma – not necessary for Level 5 leadership (“never confuse personality with leadership”)
#2 First who, then what.
Right people, then trust them to figure out where the bus is going. Great vision without great people is irrelevant. Single most important talent: select great people for the key seats. Nothing is more important that key seats filled with great people.
#3 confront the brutal facts
What brutal facts must we confront? No opinions.
