Love Jim Collins (If you have not read Good to Great..stop reading this and go find that book to read!) and love BHAGs! This was a great quick read.
A two day read but plenty of value around understanding BHAGs!
Short read, but packs a lot. Great ideas on how to accomplish goals.

This book is extremely direct and focused to the purpose of the title. Collins doesn't waste much time in helping someone grasp/understand tips to creating a foundation for success.

Short read about an idea in organizing enterprises. Did not particularly liked it. Meh.
What I love about this book is its sharp focus and conciseness. This tiny piece from Jim Collins is about understanding and implementing catalytic mechanisms, the processes and parameters in which companies and organizations, creatively and ferociously, keep themselves focused and accountable to their BHAG (Big-hairy-audacious-goals). It is the "crucial link between objectives and performance," meant to use unorthodox and contextualized policies, often culture-defining, to achieve their most imp...

This is one of those strange experiences where I obviously loved the thing when I read it the first time, but really don't remember why. This is good analysis on how to introduce catalytic mechanisms in an organization. Perhaps I just internalized it enough the first time that it no longer seems revolutionary. Anyway... it is an extremely brief piece and I would suggest it to anyone who is concerned with leadership.

I picked up this book as soon as I saw the words catalytic mechanisms. The reason being that I have an inclination towards activities or events that serve me as a catalyst to perform better or learn more. In short, the word catalyst drove me to this book. After reading the article, I have learnt a few important lessons. Some of them are well known but this book cemented my reasoning for having certain BHAGs. 1 . Goals can be audacious. 2. When goals are audacious it is important to balance burea...

Book in a sentence: a short book teaching a short simple lesson: BHAG's are like drawing castles in the sky, catalytic mechanisms are the foundations that make them reachable.

A short book introducing the concept of "catalytic mechanisms" that institutionalizes the behaviors that will achieve your goals. Examples include intensives such as giving customers the ability to not pay if they are not satisfied, or hard rules such as not accepting customers that are not willing to fly in for an orientation. This structure provides the "teeth" to allow organizations to stick to their lofty ideas and reach their audacious goals.A nifty idea, presented in what amounts to a blog...
