This is a book for a company's executive leaders looking to make improvements when aligning the organization's internal and external strategies for fast, profitable, and sustainable growth. Learn how to do the one job only you can do: aligning the organization's internal and external strategies for fast, profitable, and sustainable growth. As one of the first employees at Compaq Computers, Karen Walker was part of the senior team that grew the company's revenue from zero to $111 million in its first year. By the time she decided to leave 14 years later, Compaq had grown to $15 billion. Needless to say, it was a formative experience for Karen, and today, as a consultant, the Compaq work has provided her with the exact tools needed to help leaders. Karen's consulting business delves into every imaginable market where she assists leaders to master the counterintuitive art of organizational growth and success. Helping everyone from Fortune 500s to start-ups deliver on the promise that they've made to their customers, her motto is truly "no dumbing down." This book will serve as the perfect instruction manual for growing your business beyond what you thought was possible.
