Story
Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable, while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers - only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new audiobook, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset.

How do the really exceptional CEOs get more done in less time than everyone else? What is their technique for getting their work done, while still having the time to spend pursuing hobbies and spending quality time with their friends and family? The truth is that great and lazy CEOs know a secret when it comes to time management.

Publisher's summary
Please note: This is a key takeaways and analysis of the book and not the original book.
Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Jim Collins's Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't includes:
- Summary of the book
- A review
- Analysis and key takeaways
- A detailed "about the author" section
Preview:
In Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't, Jim Collins posits that most American entities (from the federal government and multinational corporations all the way down to individuals) are hindered by being good, and thus not rising to being great. "That good is the enemy of great is not just a business problem," he writes. "It is a human problem". As such, the question naturally arises: Can a good enough government, company, organization, or person become a great one? If so, is there a discrete methodology that might consistently yield a transformation form good to great? "Or is the disease of 'just being good' incurable?"
To answer this question, Collins and his team executed a massive research project (spanning five years and totaling a combined 15,000 hours of research for its 21-person team). Rather than beginning with a hypothesis and drilling down for confirmation or falsification, Collins and his team started by collecting, coding, and analyzing raw data and existing writing and research. From there they worked their way up to a set of core practices among organizations that move from good to great, ultimately working up a linear roadmap any organization can follow to make such a transformation.

Much of our business thinking is shaped by delusions that distort our understanding of the real reasons for a company's performance. The most pervasive delusion is the Halo Effect. When a company's sales and profits are up, people often conclude that it has a brilliant strategy, a visionary leader, capable employees, and a superb corporate culture. When performance falters, they conclude the opposite. In fact, little may have changed.

Story
To make these big moves happen for your company, you’re going to have to break through inertia, gamesmanship, and risk aversion. You’re going to have to mitigate human biases and manage group dynamics. Eight practical shifts can help you do this, and unlock bigger, bolder, better strategies. This is not another by-the-book approach to strategy. It’s not another trudge through frameworks or small-scale case studies promising a secret formula for success. It’s an irreverent, fact-driven, and humorous take on the real world of strategic decision making.

Story
Imagine what Atari might have achieved if Steve Jobs had stayed there to develop the first massmarket personal computer. Or what Steve Case might have done for PepsiCo if he hadn't left for a gaming start-up that eventually became AOL. What if Salomon Brothers had kept Michael Bloomberg, or Bear Stearns had exploited the inventive ideas of Stephen Ross? Scores of top-tier entrepreneurs worked for established corporations before they struck out on their own and became self-made billionaires.
