Welcome

Ever notice that the world is full of experts who have never actually done what they are "experts" at?

Many a business professor has never actually managed a business. Most business courses stress defining business terms but never actually teach the concepts of running a business.

This blog hopes to teach some of the terms and, at the same time, give some examples and lessons on running a business.

There will also be reviews of books on business listed here. Sometimes companies give me books to review. Regardless of where I get the book to review, I will give my honest opinion. If I was given the book to review I will always disclose that in the review.

I seek to start posting on 02 January 2012. Some of the posts will be recycled from some of my other blogs.

The reader should know that there is no one “Right Way” to conduct business that will apply in all situations. This blog is meant as a place to start. It is hoped that you will perform further research and consult professionals experienced in your particular business before making any important decisions.

Book Review: Grow to Greatness: Smart Growth for Entrepreneurial Businesses by Edward D. Hess ISBN 9780804775342




There are few books that should be considered “business classics”.  This book, Grow to Greatness: Smart Growth for Entrepreneurial Businesses is one of them.

In Search of Excellence started it off, in my opinion.  Good to Great sets a high bar for all other business books, but The One Minute Manager and Who Moved My Cheese give the business leader insight into business in a simple, readable way.

Anyone who has a business and plans to grow that business should read this book.  As business consultants, we can see a great deal of wisdom in the words of Hess. Too often, businesses grow too fast and cannot handle the change. These businesses have not built the proper foundation on which to grow.

To best take advantage of Grow to Greatness, one should read Built to Last and then Good to Great before reading this book.  To round things out, one should also read In Search of Excellence as part of their business education.

In addition to this book, Grow to Greatness, I enjoyed the Coursera course by the same name, which Hess taught through the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia.
