Description
The Founder's Mentality: How to Overcome the Predictable Crises of Growth When companies fail to achieve their growth targets, the root causes are often internal, not external. Research by Chris Zook and James Allen found that 90% of the time, the problems lie within the company, not in the market. This book explores the predictable internal crises that companies experience as they grow, and how to manage them to achieve lasting growth. The key to overcoming these crises is to adopt a "founder's mentality", a set of behaviors that are typically associated with a bold and ambitious leader. This includes having a clear mission and purpose, an unambiguous owner mindset, and a relentless focus on the front line. By instilling and leveraging this mentality throughout the organization, leaders can restore speed, focus, and connection to customers, and find profitable growth. Through rich analysis and inspiring examples, this book shows how any leader, not just a founder, can make this mindset work. With a decade-long study of companies in over 40 countries, The Founder's Mentality demonstrates the strong relationship between these three traits and a company's ability to sustain performance.
