What Healthy Companies Worry About

Great leaders are always worrying about something. But are you worrying about the right thing?

Based on our firm’s new research, what you worry about may say more about the health of your company than you realize.

And selflessness may be a key to growth.

Our research, conducted in Q1 among business leaders and C-Suite executives across America, asked participants throughout the business lifecycle to share their top concerns.

Leaders in companies experiencing growth were almost uniformly focused on external concerns like competition or changing technology. They also demonstrated high levels of organizational health.

Conversely, decision-makers in slow-growth or commoditized companies worried less about being relevant to their marketplace and more about issues like company leadership and internal communication. They were also more likely to struggle with a loss of focus, paralysis and inconsistency.
