| 					 Early-stage                            companies can grow at 100% per month or quarter.                            This is a huge percentage of growth and creates special                            problems not typically encountered in larger companies.                     Adding 5 people is not a big deal at a larger company,                     but in small companies it may be 33% growth. There are                            very different ways to manage and control growth                            and culture in this rapidly changing environment.                            Founder and management talent and philosophies are                            quickly diluted and stresses can cause major problems                            with vendors, customers and employees. The culture                            must be proactively managed using these systems and                            philosophies. This                          program provides systems and wisdom from the trenches                          of rapidly growing companies. The framework provided                          shows you how to manage your company differently as                          you shift gears through the five stages of corporate                          development from a raw startup in a garage to a multi-million-dollar                          company. It provides a complete employee development                          ladder to help the best people grow, and manage those                          who cannot keep up. It gives you benchmarks and systems                          for evolving ahead of the curve instead of breaking                          under the stress. . In a rapid growth situation the                          people originally hired can rarely keep up their own                          personal development and growth as fast as the company                          grows. They were also mainly hired for their hands                          on skills to “do” and may not be able to                          step into the management, or executive level roles                    that are quickly created in this environment.   					                        |
