Jim's Review

🐛
This one burrowed into Jim's brain and set up permanent residence. Christensen explains why big successful companies get blindsided by scrappy newcomers, and it's not because they're dumb — it's because they're too good at what they already do. It's like being the best worm in the garden and then a mole shows up. A foundational business book that earns four well-deserved worms.
