Brent Tilson has crafted a must read for business owners and entrepreneurial spirits that need to get grounded with some helpful advice for navigating the choppy waters of business growth. Go Slow to Grow Fast is an informative, hands-on look at some of the challenges many businesses face in a period popularly called the S-Curve, which often comprises a number of problems that often necessitate some growing pains. Told through an engaging narrative of fictional characters and punctuated by informative hands-on work for reader involvement (which facilitates content retention), Tilson provides great advice on how to successfully grow your business and bring it through the challenges often associated with expansion. Great read, and written in a fun, dialogue-based style much like Who Moved My Cheese (Spencer Johnson). If you like books that reframe your preservative on money matters (sort of like Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki), this book will give you done great good for thought.

Brent's book would be a required text if I was still teaching in an MBA Program, but it should be read by any student of management and leadership. Most management "fable" books focus too much on the fable and too little on the principles - - - not the case with Go Slow to Grow Fast.
