Summary
From Jim Collins， the most influential business thinker of our era， comes an ambitious upgrade of his classic， Beyond Entrepreneurship， that includes all-new findings and world-changing insights。
What's the roadmap to create a company that not only survives its infancy but thrives， changing the world for decades to come？
Nine years before the publication of his epochal bestseller Good to Great， Jim Collins and his mentor， Bill Lazier， answered this question in their bestselling book， Beyond Entrepreneurship。
Beyond Entrepreneurship left a definitive mark on the business community， influencing the young pioneers who were， at that time， creating the technology revolution that was birthing in Silicon Valley。 Decades later， successive generations of entrepreneurs still turn to the strategies outlined in Beyond Entrepreneurship to answer the most pressing business questions。
BE 2。0 is a new and improved version of the book that Jim Collins and Bill Lazier wrote years ago。 In BE 2。0， Jim Collins honors his mentor， Bill Lazier， who passed away in 2005， and reexamines the original text of Beyond Entrepreneurship with his 2020 perspective。
The book includes the original text of Beyond Entrepreneurship， as well as four new chapters and fifteen new essays。 BE 2。0 pulls together the key concepts across Collins' thirty years of research into one integrated framework called The Map。 The result is a singular reading experience， which presents a unified vision of company creation that will fascinate not only Jim's millions of dedicated readers worldwide， but also introduce a new generation to his remarkable work。

I cannot say enough great things about this book。 I first learned about it from a Beene Brown podcast and I see why she raved about Jim Collins。 For anyone who manages a team， whether large or small， there is much to be gained from this book。 Years of research that are broken down into easily digestible recommendations for achieving success within your team and the company at large。 I feel better equipped as a leader having read this book。

I enjoyed this book， it was recommended reading at Trek。 You can definitely see a lot of the guidance in this book was embraced by Trek's corporate culture， and I that's a good thing。 Why did I give it only 3 stars？ I guess it was a little dry or I wasn't as in the mood for this type of book。 The real-life examples were often fun to hear about。 I just felt a lot more drawn into a book like Infinite Game where as BE 2。0 I was not as excited to pick it up each time。 Also it is the type of book tha I enjoyed this book， it was recommended reading at Trek。 You can definitely see a lot of the guidance in this book was embraced by Trek's corporate culture， and I that's a good thing。 Why did I give it only 3 stars？ I guess it was a little dry or I wasn't as in the mood for this type of book。 The real-life examples were often fun to hear about。 I just felt a lot more drawn into a book like Infinite Game where as BE 2。0 I was not as excited to pick it up each time。 Also it is the type of book that is probably not as great as an audio book because you want to have it in your hands and taking notes and highlighting stuff to remember or study。 As an audio book you are kind of just nodding along thinking these are great points， but then when asked to summarize your takeaways you will likely be at a loss。 。。。more

This is the essential final read after reading all the other Jim Collins books。 It is excellent and one that you will want to own。 The others can be audiobooks or books from the library， but this is a reference text。 Own it。

This book is a great addition to any library。 The authors， with decades of experience， list out the different， important factors that help a company move from good to great。 Starting with leadership skills to vision， strategy， and tactical excellence， and including along the way， a chapter on the criticality of innovation。 All of the topics carry a multitude of vivid and real-life examples from companies the author's had researched over the years This book is a great addition to any library。 The authors， with decades of experience， list out the different， important factors that help a company move from good to great。 Starting with leadership skills to vision， strategy， and tactical excellence， and including along the way， a chapter on the criticality of innovation。 All of the topics carry a multitude of vivid and real-life examples from companies the author's had researched over the years 。。。more

If you ever read any Jim Collins book， you know what to expect。 Consider it another great delivery on the same approach as beyond entrepreneurship from the 90's。 I would advise any entrepreneur， or director of any organization， not to use it as a bible， but at least to consider it as a roadmap for good practices。 Even if you read the original BE from 1992， you'll find that the core message is the same， the rules are the same， but the case studies progressed and some of the concepts were refined。 If you ever read any Jim Collins book， you know what to expect。 Consider it another great delivery on the same approach as beyond entrepreneurship from the 90's。 I would advise any entrepreneur， or director of any organization， not to use it as a bible， but at least to consider it as a roadmap for good practices。 Even if you read the original BE from 1992， you'll find that the core message is the same， the rules are the same， but the case studies progressed and some of the concepts were refined。 It's not a light read to do while you're distracted， and it truly broke two records on my side: -amount of notes taken on a single book-time to finish a single book and both are good signs :） 。。。more

Trust & respect， tactical excellence， people are everything， vision & values come first。

I’m feeling happy and encouraged after I finished the book。 - One， because Jim refreshes and provides more insights into important leadership and management lessons。 - Two， because the core of the messages remains the same: getting the right people， setting up the visions， living up to level 5 leadership， managing and enabling tactical excellence etc。 I’m encouraged that I can also lead and be 2。0- if I remain focus and consistent in practicing whatever described in this book。

This is a must-read。 Although it's an update from an early book， everything in it is as modern as it was when first written。If you have a smaller company， this is a must-read。 You'll walk away with more actionable ideas than you can implement in years， much less months。 This is a must-read。 Although it's an update from an early book， everything in it is as modern as it was when first written。If you have a smaller company， this is a must-read。 You'll walk away with more actionable ideas than you can implement in years， much less months。 。。。more

All his work is now available in The Map。 30 years of study。 Worth every letter of reading。 Thank you Jom Collins。

Świetna klamra do prawie 30 lat pracy Jima Collinsa。Stare koncepcje trzymają się nadal dobrze。 Zostały jedynie uzupełnione o nowe przemyślenia。Przepis na cechy lidera no i w szczególności jak stworzyć wizję i czym ona jest。Może jestem uprzedzony - bo lubię Collinsa。 Zamierzam przetestować akurat tę koncepcję określania core values， misji oraz BHAG。

A beautiful structuring and redefinition of what corporate/business culture should look like。

This was an excellent read， as all of Jim Collins' books have been。 However， I have a real problem with the fact that almost every idea that Jim later develops in his supposedly inductive approach to research was already present in the 1992 version of BE。 This greatly undermines all those self-proclaimed "discoveries" found in Built to Last， Good to Great， Great by Choice， and How the Mighty Fall。 Don't get me wrong， I think there is much truth here and knowledge to be gained by reading these bo This was an excellent read， as all of Jim Collins' books have been。 However， I have a real problem with the fact that almost every idea that Jim later develops in his supposedly inductive approach to research was already present in the 1992 version of BE。 This greatly undermines all those self-proclaimed "discoveries" found in Built to Last， Good to Great， Great by Choice， and How the Mighty Fall。 Don't get me wrong， I think there is much truth here and knowledge to be gained by reading these books， but the source of this truth is closer to a humanities approach than the rigorous analysis claimed endlessly in Built to Last and Good to Great。 Jim's gift is that he's a great storyteller。 He brings well known and well-documented knowledge from strategy courses taught in every university to life through literary analogies， sticky labels， etc。 He makes management research entertaining and engaging。 That's enough to justify reading all of his work。 So， if you're looking for a great read about strategy and organization theory， then this book will be up your alley， but prepare yourself to look past the ridiculous claims of analytical rigor and original insight。 Those are a stretch。 Collins is a brilliant wholesaler of knowledge， but he's not a manufacturer of it， no matter how emphatic he might proclaim otherwise。 Enjoy！ 。。。more
