How the Mighty Fall

In How the Mighty Fall, management researcher Jim Collins explores the vulnerabilities that cause once-successful institutions to falter. Drawing on extensive research into corporate rise and decline, Collins maps out the stages through which prosperous enterprises gradually lose their footing, from initial hubris through undisciplined overreach to eventual crisis.

More than a study of failure, this volume serves as a practical diagnostic guide for entrepreneurs, business owners, and corporate executives. Collins highlights the subtle indicators of vulnerability and outlines the deliberate measures leaders can take to reverse a downward trajectory, making it an essential read for anyone navigating organisational leadership.
