“Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap … and Others Don’t,” by Jim Collins; recommended by Don Nielsen, chairman of Light Doctor in Mountlake Terrace.

“It’s a great phrase,” Nielsen said. The book focuses a lot on managing personnel.

“Hiring the right people is the single most important job of a CEO. Removing people who aren’t right for the job is the most difficult. You agonize over it. But it’s very important to do it and do it expeditiously. …The goal is to have workplace where people want to be and want to work.”
