🔄 Good to Great is more than twenty years old and the flywheel part still explains most "overnight" success stories I hear about.
Collins asked the executives of the companies that made the jump what their one big moment was. They could not name one. It was "relentlessly pushing a giant, heavy flywheel, turn upon turn."
The comparison companies did the opposite. A new grand program every year, a new direction, waiting for the miracle moment. He calls it the doom loop.

Worth reading before the next strategy offsite where someone wants to change everything again.
