A few years ago, Jim Collins asked the question, "Can a good company become a great company and if so, how?" In Good to Great, Collins, the author of Built to Last, concludes that it is possible, but finds there are no silver bullets. Collins and his team of researchers began their quest by sorting through a list of 1,435 companies. At the heart of those rare and truly great companies was a corporate culture that rigorously found and promoted disciplined people to think and act in a disciplined manner. |

Bob Buford, author of Halftime, calls them "pathfinders,” individuals for whom age 40 and beyond is an opportunity to further their significance rather than to rest on their success. Buford interviewed a number of these trailblazers-including Peter Drucker, Roger Staubach, Jim Collins, Ken Blanchard and Dallas Willard-and has recorded their insightful conversations in these pages so that they can serve as "mentors in print." Buford challenges us with the question, what is our legacy? |
Bob Buford’s best-selling book that develops the important theme that men frequently spend the first half of their lives pursuing success, and the latter half of their lives seeking significance. How will we be remembered? |
