Sustaining High Growth In

A success formula for today’s

A gazelle has to outrun a lion every day in order to keep ahead and stay alive.
The
ability for gazelles to run high speeds requires health, agility and stamina.
These are characteristics shared by high growth businesses.
High
growth businesses target rapid increases in revenue over consecutive years
often doubling in revenue every 4 years. They tend to be small and medium sized
enterprises. These gazelle businesses are the biggest job creators in North
America.
Gazelle Businesses:
1. Know
how to utilize the right resources, both people and finances.
2. Know
how to differentiate themselves from their competitors.
3.
Understand the route to the most profitable markets.
Gazelle
businesses have a higher chance of continual success compared to other small
and medium size businesses.
At
the leadership level gazelle businesses seek out professional advice from
experts in finance, production, customer relations and competitive governance.
The advice on these facets of business is integrated into a strategic plan.
The
plan is expressed to stakeholders through leadership vision, management mission
and organizational goals. The aim is to ignite stakeholder passion by setting
out a long term direction for the business coupled with achievable milestone
goals and targets.
At
the operational level gazelle businesses are able to infect employees with the founder’s
passion to excel and sustain high performance in executing work functions.
Passion builds self-esteem and energizes the employees to strive towards achieving
set targets.
When
targets are hit, everyone from the top leadership all the way down to the rank
and file staff experience a sense of self-achievement. A high esprit de corps permeates the work teams.
Gazelle businesses focus on competitiveness. Financial investment in good
governance practices, human resources training
and market development is done. This investment is key to ensuring high growth.
Gazelle businesses succeed even under extremely adverse economic conditions.
