When Growth Stalls
One of the toughest lessons every business leader learns is how hard it is to generate and maintain growth. At some point in an organization’s life cycle, stalled growth is the rule, not the exception—even for the best-managed companies. That’s especially true in tumultuous economic environments such as the one we’re experiencing today.
McKee conducted significant research among more than 700 corporations, many of which had at one time been among the country’s fastest-growing companies. His research probed areas as diverse as corporate structure, competition, branding, finance and strategy. McKee gleaned compelling knowledge about how and why companies lose their way and discovered practical lessons for rekindling growth that he has applied to turn his own firm’s fortunes around as well as those of his clients.
Steve McKee is an author, Business Week.com columnist and entrepreneur who knows firsthand what stalled growth can do to a company. His firm—once recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing in the nation—suffered nearly two years of revenue declines resulting in almost 100 percent staff turnover and the loss of a business partner. But instead of wringing his hands or simply feeling sorry for himself, McKee decided to do something about it.
In an engaging style filled with relevant, current examples. McKee demonstrates that sluggish growth is generally produced not by mismanagement or strategic blundering, but by natural market forces and internal management dynamics that often go unrecognized. In this eye-opening presentation, McKee makes the case that regardless of what’s going on outside of your enterprise, it’s what’s inside that counts.
