As they say, "Grow or Die.”  It’s the entrepreneur’s mantra and at the core of C-level decision-making in businesses of all sizes and across every sector of the economy.  And yet our romance with high growth can lead to big, hard-to-manage challenges when its velocity stresses capacity, capabilities and competency.  Quality can suffer and our attention to customer service could lose center stage.  We might temporarily compromise sales or pricing discipline to get that big order we’ve always wanted.  Or concede important company values in hiring because good people are hard to find.
