Business is good in nearly every sector, but business leaders still need to be aware of 10 common risks associated with rapid growth:
- Betting against the law.
(legally required activities on the back burner) - Operational infrastructure is underdeveloped.
- Product and service quality are declining.
(customer needs are obscured by growth needs) - Inability to quickly capture key data.
- The “diligence” in due diligence is missing.
(hasty acquisitions cause organizational indigestion) - Planning horizon is too short.
(“images in the mirror are closer than they appear”) - Loyalty to employees who “got us here” without accountability for results.
- Organizational focus is blurred.
- Management practices or capabilities fit yesterday’s requirements.
- Sense of invincibility.
