Fly Wheel! Fly!

I think I am finally coming to the end of the book! It's taken me a whole year. Yep. I started my first blog entry on Good to Great on June 30th, 2011. I am uncertain as to where time goes, but a whole year went in a flash. Good to Great touches on great concepts, but I feel like it stays just on or below the surface. As I bring the book to a close, I started reading The 8th Habit (Effectiveness to Greatness). As most of us know from the 7 Habits, Dr. Covey doesn't do on the surface. Getting ready for a deep-dive into real root-causes and looking forward to comparing & contrasting with Good to Great.

As we already know, the last chapter in Good to Great is called "The Flywheel and the Doom Loop". I had decided to cover the Doom Loop first (for obvious reasons). To be honest, I could barely finish the chapter because I had a feeling I knew where it was going. But you may not know where I am going with the Flywheel below, so you may want to keep reading.
