When Growth Stalls is for those interested in McKee Wallwork’s formative research into the four internal factors that are highly correlated with growth.

Growth is never guaranteed. We’d know. We’ve felt the sickening screech of our own agency’s gears beginning to grind to a halt. After being named one of Inc. 500’s fastest growing companies, we saw our agency’s revenue take a nosedive and our employee turnover rate skyrocket to 94% over 20 months. “Ulcer-inducing” would be putting it mildly. How could we go from years of rapid success to what felt like failure, seemingly overnight?

When Growth Stalls: How It Happens, Why You’re Stuck & What to do About It is the culmination of our quest to answer that question. What we discovered was that we weren’t a failure, nor were we an anomaly. Almost every company goes through stalled growth. We also uncovered the forces, both external and internal, that influence sluggish business and how to recognize them, so you can overcome them.

When Growth Stalls isn’t just another book of business advice by a consultant, professor or MBA who has studied a subject from afar. It’s a book about lessons learned the hard way, brought to you by people who have faced the same problems you may be facing today, or will inevitably face in the future. We survived ours, and with this book as your compass, we’re confident you can too.
