Good to Great: What’s a Leader to Do?
Dr. Bryan Edwards — Joe Synar Chair and Professor of Management in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University
Leadership—the stuff of legends and a legion of popular books. With so much written on leadership, it is hard for us to know what works and what doesn’t. One common complaint readers have of such literature is that these books always make leadership sound so easy. Unfortunately, people interested in leading others find that the task is much more complex than it appears to be. We are partly to blame, as we often go from book to book looking for the quick solution to our problems. Author Jim Collins offers a different perspective on leading organizations—one that does not focus on quick fixes or simple remedies. In his book Good to Great , Collins relates the findings of his research and offers tangible suggestions for leaders who want to take their organizations to greatness. In this seminar, we will explore the Good to Great principles and how you can begin to move your organizations from good to great. After all, being great does not take much more effort than being good, and who doesn’t want to make their organization great? This seminar is sponsored by the Department of Management and the Center for Executive and Professional Development in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University. Participants earn 0.3 continuing education units (CEUs) upon completion of this seminar.
