Growth Phase: Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business
Author: Gino Wickman
This is a relatively new discovery for me and if I’m honest, it has rocked my world like no other. Where the previous two books lay the groundwork for sound organisational thinking and effective daily practices, Traction sets out the complete blueprint for management structure and day to day operational mastery. This is probably not the book for the one person start-up, but if you have a small team (or large one for that matter) and are facing the challenges that go along with managing a team and growing your startup into the sort of business even Jim Collins would be proud of, then this will quickly become your bible.
