Description
85% of breakdowns in companies are traceable to internal root causes. Only 13% of people working in business in North America feel any connection to their company’s purpose. These surprising statistics lead us to ask, why do some companies lose their soul, age prematurely, and stall out while others sustain profitable growth? Chris Zook, best-selling author of The Founder’s Mentality: How to Overcome the Predictable Crises of Growth, and partner at Bain & Company, discusses how the most successful companies maintain the founder’s mentality—an insurgent’s clear mission and purpose, an unambiguous owner mindset, and a relentless focus on the front line. Based on 5 years of research, visiting 40 countries, conducting 150 interviews, and creating a database of over 8000 companies, Chris teaches us how leaders can overcome the predictable crises in a company’s lifecycle and set it on a path of sustainable and profitable growth.
