Final summary

- [Narrator] Thanks for listening to our blinks to Built to Last by Jim Collins and Jerry I. Porras. The book's key point is that visionary companies are able to obtain their phenomenal success by staying true to their core ideologies, while still relentlessly pursuing progress. A company's core ideology comprises its core values, but also its purpose, meaning the reason it exists beyond profits or shareholder value. To supplement their core ideologies, visionary companies also stimulate constant progress by setting bold goals and by instituting grass-roots mechanisms to realize their policies.
