Can decline be detected early and avoided? How far can a company fall before the path toward doom becomes inevitable and unshakable? How can companies reverse course? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eHow the Mighty Fall\u003c\/em\u003e, Collins confronts these questions, offering leaders the well-founded hope that they can learn how to stave off decline and, if they find themselves falling, reverse their course. Collins' research project--more than four years in duration--uncovered five step-wise stages of decline: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStage 1: Hubris Born of Success \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStage 2: Undisciplined Pursuit of More \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStage 3: Denial of Risk and Peril \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStage 4: Grasping for Salvation \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStage 5: Capitulation to Irrelevance or Death \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy understanding these stages of decline, leaders can substantially reduce their chances of falling all the way to the bottom. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat companies can stumble, badly, and recover. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery institution, no matter how great, is vulnerable to decline. There is no law of nature that the most powerful will inevitably remain at the top. Anyone can fall and most eventually do. But, as Collins' research emphasizes, some companies do indeed recover--in some cases, coming back even stronger--\u003cem\u003eeven after having crashed into the depths of Stage 4\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecline, it turns out, is largely self-inflicted, and the path to recovery lies largely within our own hands. We are not imprisoned by our circumstances, our history, or even our staggering defeats along the way. As long as we never get entirely knocked out of the game, hope always remains. The mighty can fall, but they can often rise again. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"One of the most eye-opening business studies since In Search of Excellence.\" - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eCollins, Jim\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJim Collins \u003c\/strong\u003ehas published multiple international bestsellers that have sold in total more than 11 million copies worldwide, including the perennial favorite \u003cem\u003eGood to Great\u003c\/em\u003e.
