Lucky to be Good . . . or Great!

Having started reading the management guru book Good to Great, I'm getting the idea that luck is a big part of corporate success. CEO's of good companies, great companies, and not-so-great companies attribute their results to luck.

As a result, luck must have something to do with it.

Unsurprisingly, Collins disagrees. In the first couple of chapters, he attributes the success of "Good to Great" companies to the "Level 5 leadership" of "humble but determined" CEO's.

Hopefully, it'll get better.
