Video from Jim
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. Having invested more than a quarter century in rigorous research, he has authored or coauthored six books that have sold in total more than 10 million copies worldwide.
They include:
- Good to Great, the #1 bestseller, along with its companion work Good to Great and the Social Sectors
- The enduring classic Built to Last, which explores why some companies remain visionary for generations
- How the Mighty Fall, which delves into how once-great companies can self-destruct
- Great by Choice, which is about thriving in chaos—why some do, and others don’t.
- His newest publication is Turning the Flywheel, which explores how leaders can best harness the flywheel effect to build and accelerate momentum.
Driven by a relentless curiosity, Jim began his research and teaching career on the faculty at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he received the Distinguished Teaching Award in 1992. In 1995, he founded a management laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, where he conducts research and engages with CEOs and senior-leadership teams. In 2012 and 2013, he had the honor to serve a two-year appointment as the Class of 1951 Chair for the Study of Leadership at the United States Military Academy at West Point. In 2017, Forbes selected Jim as one of the 100 Greatest Living Business Minds.
Jim has been an avid rock climber for more than forty years and has completed single-day ascents of El Capitan and Half Dome in Yosemite Valley.
