Джим Коллинз, взирая взглядом ученого на безжизненные руины когда-то казавшихся несокрушимыми, а ныне канувших в Лету компаний, задается вопросом: как гибнут великие? Действительно ли крах происходит неожиданно или компания, не ведая того, готовит его своими руками? Можно ли обнаружить признаки упадка на ранней стадии и избежать его? Почему одни компании в трудных условиях остаются на плаву, а другие, сопоставимые с ними по всем показателям, идут ко дну? Насколько сильными должны быть кризисные явления, чтобы движение к гибели стало неотвратимым? Как совершить разворот и вернуться к росту? В своей книге Джим Коллинз отвечает на эти вопросы, давая руководителям обоснованную надежду на то, что можно не просто обнаружить и остановить упадок, но и возобновить рост.

Форзацы

Не важно, чего вы достигли, как далеко вперед ушли, какую мощь приобрели, —

ВЫ БЕЗЗАЩИТНЫ ПЕРЕД ВОЗМОЖНЫМ УПАДКОМ.

Великие компании могут и подниматься, равно как и великие люди. Пока вы окончательно НЕ ВЫШЛИ ИЗ ИГРЫ, всегда остается надежда.

Нет такого закона природы, в соответствии с которым самые сильные должны непременно остаться

Компания может выглядеть здоровой снаружи, в то время как внутри она уже ПОРАЖЕНА НЕДУГОМ и находится у опасной черты, за которой следует БЕЗУДЕРЖНОЕ ПАДЕНИЕ.

КОГДА ВЫ НА ВЕРШИНЕ — самая могущественная страна в мире, самая успешная компания в отрасли, лучший игрок в виде спорта — ваша сила и успех могут скрывать тот факт, что ВЫ УЖЕ НА ПУТИ ВНИЗ.

Как же узнать? Cовершенно НЕЗАМЕТНО, а затем— —вы оказываетесь в большой беде.

СМЫСЛ БОРЬБЫ - не в выживании, а В СОЗДАНИИ КОМПАНИИ, которая столь явно влияет на окружающий мир и делает это с такими ПРЕВОСХОДНЫМИ РЕЗУЛЬТАТАМИ, что, если она перестанет существовать, возникнет зияющая брешь — брешь, которую будет непросто заполнить кому-то другому.

Неудача — это не столько физическое явление, сколько СОСТОЯНИЕ УМА; успех — это КОГДА ПАДАЕШЬ И СНОВА ВСТАЕШЬ, и так без конца.

Самые ВЕЛИКИЕ из лидеров никогда НЕ ПУТАЛИ РОСТ И ВЕЛИЧИЕ. «Большой» не означает «великий», а «великий» — не обязательно большой.

ПУТЬ К СВЕТУ начинается е,тех раздражающе упорных людей, которые неспособны к капитуляции. Одно дело — потерпеть сокрушительное поражение, и совершенно другое — отказаться от ценностей и стремлений, которые придают смысл затяжной борьбе. Никогда не сдавайтесь и НЕ ПРЕДАВАЙТЕ СВОЮ ГЛАВНУЮ ЦЕЛЬ.

Отличительный ПРИЗНАК ИСТИННОГО ВЕЛИЧИЯ по сравнению с простым везением это не отсутствие трудностей, а СПОСОБНОСТЬ ОПРАВИТЬСЯ ОТ НЕУДАЧИ и стать сильнее прежнего.
