ANOTHER WAY Building Companies That Last...and Last...and Last

Mitch Crawford's narration of this business advice is youthful and workmanlike. Today's venture capitalists often make fortunes by buying in, reorganizing (i.e., laying off), and then selling. Silicon Valley venture capitalist Dave Whorton argues for a better way: creating long-lasting companies, which he calls "evergreen." White Castle is an example of one such company. Whorton offers tips for continued growth in the global marketplace. The audiobook's three principal parts are conceptual discussions: "Get Big Fast," "The Learning Journey," and, perhaps most importantly, "The Evergreen Perspective." A handful of his seven "P Principles" are: "people first," "paced growth," and "pragmatic innovation." While the ideas herein are somewhat naïve and simplistic both in content and audio performance, today's leaders may learn some valuable lessons.
