Publisher's Synopsis
"Any company's greatest enemy is itself, not competitors or the economy."
In a landscape dominated by short-termism and individualism, Congruence presents a revolutionary and timeless method and mindset for building sustainable, high value companies - to rediscover the true essence of capitalism. This method provides robust philosophical constructs about a company's intrinsic nature while offering practical levers to create the best possible version of each company.
Congruence addresses the why, what, and how of every relevant aspect of a company, spanning purpose, strategy, and operations. It champions the Holistic Company model, where the value exchange among customers, investors, employees, partners, and society is appropriately balanced, fostering both sustainability and profitability.
Congruence frames a company's success as balanced value creation, optimized capital efficiency, and sustainable profitability throughout its lifecycle. It advocates for a focus on fundamentals, system thinking, and a One Company mindset. This book is for the thoughtful operator who seeks to transcend hype cycles and industry silos and desires to design and build each company's uniquely optimal version.
Congruence recalibrates an operator's skills and mindset to become the game-changing playmaker who connects all the dots to build a high value, capital-efficient company. It answers numerous meaningful questions that dovetail the incentives and behaviors of employees, investors, customers, partners, and members of society.
