When it comes to creating value for shareholders, customers, employees-for most everyone concerned-no company does it better than the company that grows. Now, in "Value-Creating Growth," two acclaimed growth consultants distill twenty years of expertise into a practice-driven program any change leader can use to ensure sustained, dynamic growth for his or her organization. Packed with real-world examples, proven strategies, and a host of action-oriented tools, this is the first book that offers readers a systematic approach to transforming companies into first-class performers.

Recenzje

"Value–Creating Growth is a hard–hitting, plain–speaking volume that answers the most critical question on the minds of business leaders today: ′How can we grow and grow profitably?′ A rigorous and practical guide to the best practices of profitable growth." ––Richard E. Cavanagh, president and CEO, The Conference Board

"Doorley gives away what most consultants would charge a fortune for: Not just a consultation on why a growth strategy makes sense, but finely detailed, step–by–step instructions on how any size business can do it." ––Robert J. Teufel, president, Rodale Press
