Good to be Great

After reading Good to be Great I found plenty of great examples of companies who have had leaders whom have remained dedicated to their company. I saw some contrast though in the companies that they claimed were good-to-be-great. Only because some of these companies have now failed. Looking at the models provided by Collins, I feel that I work for a good to be great company, Apple. This company empowers employees to make difficult customer service decisions to provide the best experience. Their investment in new technologies have allowed them to stay on the leading edge. Steve Jobs has done an excellent job in my opinion acting as the CEO of this company. Based on the book have you found that you would agree with my claims or do you maybe have a better example?
