Excellence Made Possible

Chapter Chapter 2 in Systemic Change Management, 2015, pp 21-43 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Excellence is a condition many people strive for, in the arts, in sports, and in business. Many experts have discussed what excellence is and how to achieve it. That has especially been the case in the management community where the financial implications are immense. Much like spiritual devotees seek the true path to heaven or nirvana, business managers seek the road to organizational success. Over the years, that motivation has fueled the popularity of many management books. Among them in the 1980s was In Search of Excellence by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman, in the 1990s Competing for the Future by Gary Hamel and C.K. Prahalad, and in the first decade of the twenty-first century From Good to Great by Jim Collins. Each of these books identified companies that achieved and sustained superior financial performance and explained how they did so.
