Built to Last

Jim Collins, Jerry I. Porras

Business / Management

Collins and Porras's six-year study of eighteen visionary companies and the habits — clock-building over time-telling, BHAGs, cult-like cultures — that make them durable across generations of leaders. Bezos has called it his favorite business book; Collins later briefed Amazon's executive team on its principles before the sequel, Good to Great, was published.
