Built to Last

One of the oft repeated phrases of Dr. T is that "NI is built to last". And there are no second thoughts about it. The ideas are taken from Jim Collin's seminal books Built to Last and Good to Great - both are part of NI's essential reading for leaders. I chanced upon an abstract by the author himself. If you are in a hurry, here are the top ideas from Built to Last:

  • Be a clock builder, not a time teller
  • Build the company around a core ideology
  • Build a cult-like culture
  • Homegrow your management
  • Stimulate progress thru BHAGs, experimentation and continuous improvement
  • Embrace the "genius of the AND"

Curious? Abstract is here.
