THE BREAKTHROUGH COMPANY How Everyday Companies Become Extraordinary Performers

This book analyzes how to grow your company into one with a much larger bottom line. McFarland studied 7,000 companies over five years to see how they grew and what pushed them from small to large companies. McFarland focuses on nine companies in particular--Chico's, Fastenal, and seven others--as he examines how they grew from garage operations into large corporations. Practical advice, case studies, and specific action steps are intertwined with the histories of the companies. McFarland reads his work smoothly as he enumerates both his action steps and his involvement in the growth of the companies. A written list of chapter titles and action steps would enhance this otherwise practical audiobook. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2008]
