This is not a book about philosophy, brilliant ideas and strategies, or even about how much one knows about business. Rather, it provides a battle-tested approach to successfully implementing strategies in growing firms. Each year, approximately 627,000 businesses are started in the United States. However, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 20% of these businesses fail within the first year and by the end of the fifth year, roughly 50% of them have failed. After ten years or so, only about 30% of them continue in operations—barely…as most of them struggle financially. Business failure is pervasive, painful, and persistent, as about 595,000 of them fail each year…but it does not have to be this way. If you’re a business leader who have had enough strategic plans go off the rails, change initiatives that failed, key employees that unexpectedly quit, or chronic business underperformance…then this book is for you. It presents a revolutionary approach to implementing strategies in growing firms.
