“Don’t get distracted by areas where you can’t be the best. Focus. Evaluate your process and have the discipline to remove the activities or efforts that aren’t getting you closer to achieving your goals.” - Good to Great 

Have you ever wondered how good can become great? Is it a random chance, or is there some common thread among the individuals or companies that were able to make the leap from good to great? These are some of the questions we’ll be exploring in today’s episode, as we discuss Good to Great: How some companies make the leap and others don’t, a best-selling book written by Stanford professor Jim Collins. 

On this first episode of the Books Made Me Do It podcast, Catherine sits down with her guest (and mom!), executive leader Julie Tremblay, at Crew Collective Café in Montreal to talk about what factors, in her experience, can move a company from good to great and why this book, in particular, has had such an influence on her career, life and leadership style. Visionary leader, Julie Tremblay has held senior positions for over 20 years, including as President and CEO, COO and Vice President of HR within the Quebecor Group.
