Good to Great

Jim Collins

A firm cannot confront harsh realities if they are never expressed. Therefore, it falls on leaders to establish an atmosphere where difficult issues can be discussed openly. A powerful, charming leader can become a burden rather than a benefit if it leads others to conceal the unpleasant reality from them. During management meetings, leaders should act as a Socratic facilitator - posing questions to reveal honest opinions instead of providing immediate solutions. Leaders should also promote lively debates in meetings to ensure the most effective decisions are made. When errors occur, analyze them thoroughly to grasp what went awry, but avoid assigning blame; as this only deters people from speaking the truth. Establish warning systems to empower your team to raise concerns. This will enable you to focus on the truth - even if it is difficult to accept. Collins discovered that exceptional companies didn’t possess more, or superior, information than their counterparts. They simply confronted and handled it in a more truthful manner.
