Mastering the 7 Essentials of High–Growth Companies: Effective Lessons to Grow Your Business

Praise for MASTERING THE 7 ESSENTIALS of High–Growth Companies
"Thomson nails the essentials required to become a high–growth company in Mastering the 7 Essentials of High–Growth Companies. The management practices he identifies certainly applied to RIM′s Blackberry in the early years: a breakthrough proposition focusing on a high–growth smartphone market, inside/outside management with a co–CEO pair, and core alliances with brand name service providers. This book clearly outlines what it takes to grow your business which can lead to achieving the kind of exceptional growth RIM is achieving."
—Jim Estill, Seed Investor and member of the Board of Directors for Research in Motion (RIM)
"Achieving exceptional growth, especially during challenging times, is rare but can be done. Applying these 7 Essentials will provide invaluable insights that can guide your actions to grow your business. I applied the ′essential′ lessons Thomson identifies while growing Staples and apply them to the companies we invest in at Highland Capital."
—Tom Stemberg, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Staples, Managing General Partner of Highland Capital Partners
"HCL is proud to have had the essentials of a hungry, global, high–growth enterprise that Thomson outlines in Mastering the 7 Essentials of High–Growth Companies built in its genes. If you are inspired to grow your business, regardless of whatever country, culture or industry your company is in—this book offers a practical and actionable set of lessons that will help guide your growth journey."
—Shiv Nadar, Founder, HCL
