Abstract

We’ve now intensively addressed questions concerning internal brakes to growth in your organization. But one of the most important questions is how you as a CEO, entrepreneur or Senior Manager can contribute to the growth of your company—and what personal brakes might still need to be released.

If you only have the time or inclination to read one chapter of this book, this is the one.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This is an adage favored by my mentor, Alan Weiss.

  2. 2.

    In 2009 Business Week initiated a discussion between Dr. Jay Galbraith and myself on the pros and cons of matrix organizations. The discussion and the comments it provoked from others offer exciting insights on the topic. See: http://www.businessweek.com/debateroom/archives/2009/08/matrix_is_the_ladder_to_success.html
