High Growth Handbook

Why I recommend it

This is a practical guide to leading a company through rapid growth. It’s especially useful on executive hiring, boards, and the founder’s changing job.

What it changed in my thinking

Growing a company changes what it needs from its leaders. Doing more of what worked before won’t always help.

Who it’s useful for

Founders and executives at fast-growing, venture-backed companies.

A tension or limitation

The advice assumes a particular pace and kind of growth. It may be too much for a smaller or slower-growing business.
