Why the Mighty Fall

And Why Some Companies Never Give In
Book •
Why the Mighty Fall examines the stages of decline that successful companies often experience.

Jim Collins identifies five stages, starting with hubris born of success, followed by undisciplined pursuit of more, denial of risk and peril, grasping for salvation, and finally, capitulation to irrelevance or death.

The book uses detailed case studies to illustrate how companies can falter despite initial success.

It offers insights into recognizing early warning signs of decline and provides guidance on how to reverse course.

Collins emphasizes the importance of disciplined action, humble leadership, and a relentless focus on core principles.

This work serves as a cautionary tale and a practical guide for leaders striving to sustain long-term success.
