Most business advice glamorizes growth and suggests that it should be one of a business’s top priorities. While growth can be great, it has a dark side. Growth will amplify and exploit weakness in a business. Without a solid foundation, a business can crumble under the weight of growth.
In this TIGER Talk, we will explore the dangers of growth, consider practices to manage it, and discuss easy-to-implement tools you can use to ensure that your company is a growth-ready business.

Rob Young is a former executive who never planned to have a business career. He spent two decades in senior leadership roles in companies ranging from a VC-backed startup to a global corporation.
Having burned out on corporate life, Rob traded his briefcase for a tool belt and spent five years renovating historic houses. Days spent doing hands-on construction side by side with talented craftspeople were some of his most enjoyable.
It was during this time that Rob recognized a consistent pattern: the business owners he worked with had never been trained to run a business and struggled to navigate growth. After watching several businesses fail, he founded Stage 3 Group, a consulting firm dedicated to helping business owners navigate the challenges of growth with clarity and confidence through simple tools, practices, and rhythms.
Rob is the author of Stage 3 Success, a practical guide for owners of growing businesses who want to scale without losing control.
