The Growth Paradox: Why Success Often Leads to Failure
Why do once-nimble companies become bloated giants that struggle to innovate? The answer lies in a powerful paradox: growth creates complexity, and complexity kills growth. Drawing from extensive research across thousands of global companies, "The Founder's Mentality" reveals that while most organizations blame external factors for their struggles, the real battle is internal. Companies that thrive decade after decade master both the external game of markets and the internal game of organizational culture. This insight has made the book required reading at companies like Amazon and Microsoft, and earned praise from Warren Buffett himself. The most successful businesses maintain the attitudes and approaches of their founders even as they scale-a quality that becomes increasingly rare as companies grow. The data is striking: only about 7-8% of companies that reach $500 million in revenue maintain their founder's mentality, yet these rare "scale insurgents" generate more than half of all global stock market value annually.
