✦ Synopsis
blends the rigor of research with the power of a compelling call to greatness in corporations. Good to Great is the result of a five-year empirical study of organizations whose performance made the leap from good to great.
As I read Good to Great I was eager to learn about the findings of the study, the research process used, and how a study of this magnitude could inform the field of human resource development. This book review describes the study' s research methods and the lessons learned by the research team, and discusses the implications of the findings and methods for the HRD profession and the institutions of higher education that prepare HRD practitioners and leaders.
