"This book provides a proven framework and a practical approach for dealing with what matters most for the success of any growing organization. I found it comprehensive and compelling."--Madhavan Nayar, founder and company leader, Infogix     ?Although we already had a culture of pursuing continuous improvement, we lacked a framework for planning to restructure Pardee Homes to take advantage of our talented people, resources, and systems to expand our business into new markets. Utilizing ?the pyramid? we have developed a disciplined approach to truly strategic planning (and planning for contingencies), excellence in execution and objective measurement of goals and objectives in every department and in every division.'--Michael McGee, CEO, Pardee Homes   ? Growing Pains documents the proven system utilized by Flamholtz and Randle to guide numerous companies through the start-up phases to national-level growth.  This is not a book of academic platitudes or untested abstractions, but is a practical guide book based on hands-on experiences and demonstrable successes. Because Flamholtz and Randle have developed their perspectives from having worked closely with many companies and management teams, their judgments are solid and their principles can be followed with confidence.'-- Henry Cisneros, executive chairman, CityView     ?I have had the great fortune to personally witness a multitude of small business owners and nonprofit executives successfully apply the principles taught in this book to transition their organizations toward enduring success. The concepts in this book provide the critical tools and knowledge for any entrepreneur to channel their passion into a concrete strategy that enables them to take their business to the next level. Flamholtz and Randle's Growing Pains is worth the investment of the most precious of our commodities--time and intellectual energy!?--Helen Han, CEO, National Association of Women Business Owners-LA

Michael McGee, CEO, Pardee Homes "Growing Pains documents the proven system utilized by Flamholtz and Randle to guide numerous companies through the startup phases to nationallevel growth. This is not a book of academic platitudes or untested abstractions, but is a practical guide book based on handson experiences and demonstrable successes. Because Flamholtz and Randle have developed their perspectives from having worked closely with many companies and management teams, their judgments are solid and their principles can be followed with confidence."

    Excellent packaging with bubble wrap completely covering purchase. Fast shipping with a personalized note "Hope you love it." Although image on listing doesn't show item, it is accurate in that it is brand new! My wife was very happy to receive the twilight collector edition DVD which comes with flower! Highly recommend seller.

    Shipped pretty quickly and packaged safely. Great quality! Pages look nice and is practically new! Was bubble wrapped and in a plastic mailer to keep it dry. Very happy with my purchase. Good value. I can't wait to start reading. Blah blah blah you know the deal for some reason ebay won't let me post this unless it's 500 characters and that's insane I got my point across in one sentence but I know feedback is important for small businesses.
