The Alchemy of Growth

Mehrdad Baghai, Stephen Coley and David White

Orion Business Books 1999

This is a refreshing and insightful book.  It is refreshing since it has ideas about growth in the long term, in contrast to so many management books that focus on short-term expediency.  It is insightful because it shows how to manage these three horizons at once - and each requires very different management practices and people.

It is to be hoped that all managers study this book.
