Growth makes so many dimensions of management easier. It's when growth stops that things get tough.
Managing is a tough job. When you're young, you just think it's a natural progression - I'm good at this, so I'm going to be good at that - and it's not that way at all.
When you are in a growth company, you have to really open people's eyes to the bigger possibilities so they think differently. Once they understand how to define success and what their role is in success, they make better decisions, and you can push decision-making down.
We know from research that growth is actually contagious, so if you want to reach your goals, you've got to get around people that are going in the same direction you want to be going, and you will catch the success.
Growth is the great separator between those who succeed and those who do not. When I see a person beginning to separate themselves from the pack, it's almost always due to personal growth.
Growing is an important part of the business, but more important than that is to get better.
Growth is a stupid goal. So, by the way, is no-growth.
Management is the opportunity to help people become better people. Practiced that way, it's a magnificent profession.
I just think it's growth when you pursue something you're not sure you can do.
There's only one growth strategy: work hard.
