Abstract

This book is positively oriented. Its purpose is to help you define profitable growth in various dimensions, establish a program to strengthen profitable growth, and in so doing make or keep your company growing healthily. It’s there to help you recognize where brakes to growth have already cropped up in your company or will do so in the future, and to release those brakes bit by bit and one by one. This chapter shifts perspective a bit to consider the dark side: the blocking strategies you may encounter when you start a growth program, regardless of whether you’re the Chair of the Managerial Board, CEO, Division Director, Regional Manager or Branch Office Manager. It’s essential that we address these blocking strategies because they are a concrete reality, and we have to face the fact that in many cases they are willfully employed—mostly by those people who automatically dislike any idea you come up with, those who hope to avoid the additional work and responsibilities your plan would mean for them, and those who simply envy your success. Learn about these seven strategies in order to have a counterstrategy at hand so that your way to profitable growth is not interrupted.
