The Five Stages of Corporate Development and How Each Must Act Differently
Channel: AirTight Management
Date: 24/12/2020

I founded my company to help other companies after years of seeing organizations act differently than they should during their development life cycle. This is mainly caused by people who spent their entire career working in one stage of company moving to another and continuing to have that behavior and perspective when it is not appropriate of the new company. 
Changing people behavior is extremely difficult, their reflexes (neuroplasticity) and habits will kick in unconsciously. Hence, hiring people who have experience in your stage of company is one solution, but the Entrepreneur/CEO must be on the lookout for this at all times in hiring, managing and coaching managers and even all employees at times. 
Having this five-stage model is just another way to adjust, explain this to employees and stakeholders and insure that out of stage behavior does not drive your company down, or crazy. 

This is a free sample preview of one of 40+ courses in The CEO & Entrepreneur Boot Camp. You can learn more about this at www.CEOBootCamp.us.

The CEO & Entrepreneur Boot Camp is the only comprehensive set of courses created by a successful Serial Entrepreneur to greatly increase the chances of success of launching any new venture or product. About 85% of new companies fail because they lack the skills, experience and process to design, build and launch a company with sustainable competitive advantage that can compete well in any marketplace. We believe taking the CEO Boot Camp is better than getting an MBA and it can be done in weeks instead of years.
