La zece ani după ce a scris bestsellerul Excelența în afaceri, Jim Collins revine – alături de Morten Hansen – pentru a răspunde la întrebări inedite. Concluziile cercetărilor întreprinse de cei doi autori sunt absolut surprinzătoare. Pe de o parte, cei mai mari lideri nu sunt mai vizionari sau mai creativi decât competitorii lor și nici nu își asumă mai multe riscuri; dar sunt mai disciplinați și mai pragmatici. Pe de altă parte, inovația în sine nu e un argument decisiv într-un mediu schimbător; mai importantă e abilitatea de a gestiona corect inovația, de a combina creativitatea cu disciplina. Collins și Hansen ajung astfel să contrazică înțelepciunea tradițională, formulând și explicând o serie de concepte inedite: „liderii 10X“, „marșul de 20 de mile“, „întâi gloanțe, apoi ghiulele“, „mai sus de linia morții“, „nu doar perspectiva, ci și detaliul“, „rețeta «specific, metodic și consecvent»“, „rezultatul șansei“ etc.

"You want the dreams they dreamed of to come true-Then They Do." That line from one of country music''s best songs in recent memory pretty much sums up the way millions of parents feel about their children. Many times as they are growing up and driving you crazy, you dream of when they will be out of the house-and you will have your life back again-and then they do. Then They Do is filled with heartwarming, and sometimes tear-inducing, stories from parents about cherishing the moments with your children and celebrating the fine young men and women they have become. This book will serve as a reminder to parents to seize those moments when their tiny ones are still underfoot, and will be a nostalgia-inducing keepsake for those whose children have moved upwards and onwards. A fine gift for parents young and old or for grown children in the midst of raising their own families.
