The September 2016 Inc. 500 just landed on my doorstep (my dirty little secret: I like paper). Some fun stats from successful Inc. 500 founders when asked what the thing is that concerns them most:
Attracting and Retaining Talent | 45% |
Staying Focused | 21% |
Managing Fast Growth | 19% |
Remaining Competitive | 9% |
Keeping Up with Rapid Technology Changes | 7% |
The greatest concern when starting their business? 43% said failure.
86% state that their primary goal is to scale.
Helping employees grow: 61% provide outside training to employees and 28% have leadership development programs. (Shameless plug: We can help with that!)
