The Founder’s Mentality
When asked about the causes of declining turnover and profitability, the managers of these companies rarely cite external factors such as the market or technology. Instead, the reasons for declining growth are predominantly internal: lack of customer contact, too little willingness to take responsibility, complex processes and bureaucracy. These are the findings of the book The Founder’s Mentality by Bain partners Chris Zook and James Allen, who conducted a long-term study on the subject.
