A Breakthrough Study on Growth Leadership
You Can Accelerate Growth Leadership In Your Organization
Companies and leaders everywhere are struggling to recover their balance and the momentum to grow their business in turbulent times. In response, HCI and the Batten Institute at the Darden School of Business have just released a landmark study of over 50 leaders we called "catalysts" — executives who achieved significant, organic top-line growth from within large companies.
Why Catalysts? In science, a catalyst is an agent required to activate a particular chemical reaction. In organizations, catalysts are leaders who don’t just make things happen; they make things happen that wouldn’t happen at all without them.
Our research uncovered the unique characteristics of these catalysts—the attitudes, experiences, skills and knowledge that enable them to discover and pursue opportunities that spark top-line growth. What’s more, we found that these skills and capabilities are teachable to leaders everywhere.
You Can Accelerate Growth Leadership In Your Organization
Based on this research, we have developed a number of offerings and resources for use by companies to develop growth leaders at all levels:
The CEO’s Role In Leading Growth – Consulting and coaching to CEOs and c-level executives on how to create an environment that fosters an entrepreneurial spirit and encourages growth leadership and successful growth initiatives.
Assessments – Individual, team and organizational assessments that measure existing capability and include development plans for strengthening growth leadership. The assessments are available online and can be offered to groups of executives in organizations in all sectors and industries around the world.
Speeches – Presentations and facilitated dialogue by members of the Growth Leader Research Team to leaders inside organizations that (1) focus on key growth leadership challenges, (2) present ways to unleash growth potential, and (3) share best practices for how leaders discover growth opportunities and implement successful growth initiatives.
Growth Leader Programs – Seminars and workshops for executives and business leaders that (1) present key findings from the research, (2) provide the opportunity to apply successful concepts and approaches to internal growth, and (3) guide the development of internal, top line growth strategies. Themes and topics include: Developing the Growth Mindset, Reframing the Value Proposition, Thinking Like An Entrepreneur, Building Growth Teams.
Growth Leader Coaching – Individual and team coaching for planning and leading growth initiatives. The approach builds on HCI’s Change Leader Advisory coaching with a special emphasis on the challenges and opportunities of leading growth inside organizations.
Online Learning Tools – Individual assessments, how to’s, best practices, and exercises delivered to individuals, teams and organizations via the web that provide knowledge and performance support to individual growth leaders and their teams.

Just Enough Anxiety: The Hidden Driver of Business Success (Penguin Portfolio, 2008)
Anxiety is a fact of life. How you use it makes all the difference. If you let it overwhelm you, it will turn to panic. If you deny or run from it, you will become complacent. But if you use anxiety in a positive way, you will turn it into a powerful force in your life. You will uncover the hidden driver of business success.
"I love this book. Great advice - built on thorough research – involving many of the world's best leaders. I love the integration of Eastern and Western thought. Wonderful coaching that shows a path we can all follow. Somewhere between 'just coasting along' and 'being paralyzed with panic' lies the land of just enough anxiety. Bob Rosen shows us how to find and navigate around this land.”
