Saw this post on Mark Conner’s site today.
'How the Mighty Fall' by Jim Collins (Book Review)
Jim Collins is the best-selling author of Built to Last and Good to Great. Collins is a student of companies and organisations - great ones, good ones, weak ones, and failed ones. His latest book (which I picked up recently in an airport bookshop in the USA), based on extensive research, is How the Mighty Fall. In it he proposes that, "Whether you prevail or fail, endure or die, depends more on what you do to yourself than on what the world does to you."
Mark Conner's Space: 'How the Mighty Fall' by Jim Collins (Book Review)
It is worth a read of the whole post but the line that stood out to me was
"Whether you prevail or fail, endure or die, depends more on what you do to yourself than on what the world does to you."
How easy it is for us in leadership to look for an external cause of the issues we face, when we would be more productive to look internally at our own selves to find the issues and therefore the solutions.
