New to Big

A blueprint for recapturing lost growth skills. When David Kidder was invited to speak at GE's annual leadership conference in 2012, he yelled down to chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt, How many $50 million companies did you launch last year? The answer was zero. Realizing that the company's ability to innovate had been choked by bureaucracy and traditional corporate thinking, Kidder set out with a team of entrepreneurs and innovators to help GE get back on track. In The Growth OS, he reveals their success story. Filled with examples and anecdotes of how small businesses can develop killer processes to scale enterprise, as well as actionable tips and tools, this is a road map for startup founders and entrepreneurs alike.
