520 Simply put, most entrepreneurial start-ups fail. Those
fortunate enough to succeed then face a second, major
challenge: how to grow. This book focuses on the key
questions an entrepreneur must answer in order to grow a
business. Based on extensive research of more than fifty
successful growth companies, Grow to Greatness discusses
the top ten growth challenges and how to overcome them.
Author Edward D. Hess dispels the myth that businesses
must grow or die. Growth can create value. But, too much
growth too fast outstrips effective processes, controls,
or management capacity. Viewing growth as "recurring
change," Grow to Greatness lays out a framework for how to
approach business development--and how to manage its risks
and pace. The book then takes readers through chapters
that explore whether the time is right to grow, how to do
it, and how to manage the vital reality that growth
requires the right leadership, culture, and people.
Uniquely, this book aims to prepare readers for the day-to
-day reality of growth, offering up the lived experiences
of eleven entrepreneurs. Six workshops to assess where
readers stand now and a suite of templates that will prove
to be useful over time help bring the book's teachings to
life. After reading this book, entrepreneurs will have a
real understanding of their readiness to grow and place in
the growth cycle, as well as a concrete action plan for
where to take their businesses next. Many books address
how to start a business, but this is a unique, go-to
resource for readers who want to learn how to thrive
beyond the start-up phase.
