I wrote this book because growth is usually celebrated before it is examined. Entrepreneurs are taught how to increase revenue, reach more customers, hire employees, and open new locations, but we do not spend enough time asking what expansion is doing to the soul of the leader or the integrity of the organization.

The conversation resumes at the moment a worthy enterprise begins to outgrow the habits that carried its beginning. Demand increases, opportunities multiply, and the language of expansion grows louder. Yet growth does not merely enlarge the work. It multiplies whatever is already present in the mission, systems, leadership, and soul of the organization.
