About this listen

This book explores the unique challenges faced by the leaders of small, high-growth enterprises. According to the US Census Bureau, among the approximately 6 million US firms, fewer than 1,000 had annual revenue over $1 billion and approximately 97.5 percent had fewer than 100 employees–and yet, most leadership books refer to firms like Amazon, Apple, Walmart and MasterCard as models.

The challenges of leading smaller growth firms–or the “97.5%”–are very different than those experienced by the heads of huge multinationals–and this book is written for them–small-growth, for-profit and non-profit organizations, in a vast array of industries.

What this book offers you is not a boiler-plate, “10-step plan for success”. It offers you something better. Tools you can use in your unique situation as an entrepreneurial leader. Tools that will help you grow as your organization grows.

Based on interviews with 35 Founders/CEOs and the authors’ experiences as Founders, CEOs and Advisors, they have distilled 10 common themes that help you develop your own approach to leading or wrestling with issues related to growing your organization.
