Description

A simple framework for success

Creating success, and avoiding failure, for small and medium-sized businesses has proven—over a sustained period—to be the direct result of the decisions and actions made by their leaders about the internal structures of these businesses. By focusing on building a strong core, business founders, owners, and executives have the power to ensure success, rather than falling prey to failure.

The Structure of Success provides a simple framework—consisting of approaches, methodologies, and tools for assessing, determining, planning, and implementing decisions—for building the internal structural components of a business, and, specifically, focusing on the eight most important categories that have been shown to impact success and failure for small and medium-sized businesses:

• Governance models and governance team composition
• Management team models, composition, engagement, and compensation
• Adjustments and pivots
• Growth and infrastructure development
• Business disputes and breakups
• Acquisitions, mergers, exits, and other business transactions
• Disaster preparedness and management
• Succession planning

When leaders of small and medium-sized businesses address these categories and revisit these topics regularly, they will produce the core structural components that will help them to meet their business goals, manage the risks and threats that arise, and position themselves—and their businesses—for success.

Advance Praise

“The Structure of Success is an incredibly insightful and pragmatic guide for any entrepreneur or business owner looking to take their company to the next level. Patrick’s combination of extensive experience and real-world examples provide the ultimate guide on how to identify potential disasters and prepare for them, as well as how to manage a crisis when it does occur. It answers all the tough questions that business owners face when trying to grow and succeed while maintaining their core values and culture—this is a must-read!"

—Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 executive coach and New York Times best-selling author of The Earned Life, Triggers, and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There.

"The problem with so many business books today is they don’t get into the real nuts and bolts of how to put together a company that is built to outlast the competition. Instead, they offer platitudes and surface-level advice with minimal impact that never really change anything for the better. Fortunately, in his groundbreaking book, The Structure of Success, Patrick Esposito offers readers a complete road map for how to structure any kind of business in any industry for maximum results. From governance to management team models to scaling and growth—and much more—the information in this book is essential reading for every founder, executive, and manager."

—Peter Economy, bestselling author and The Leadership Guy on Inc.com

“Esposito provides an evidenced-based framework for small- and medium-sized businesses to strengthen execution and optimize long-term success. These businesses are the backbone of the economy and must navigate a unique set of questions and challenges that are often overlooked or underestimated yet carry significant consequences if not addressed. The wisdom and experience captured in this book provides a tailored blueprint for leaders in this strategically important business sector as they chart the course for a stronger future.” 

—Brad D. Smith, president, Marshall University, and former chairman and CEO, Intuit

“Every chief executive officer or president who recognizes that growth for their businesses and their careers will come through expanding knowledge and deepening understanding of what drives success and failure for businesses should read The Structure of Success. Patrick Esposito’s research, insights, and frameworks combine to create a compelling and lasting resource for executive leaders that can help guide crucial decisions and actions to help position their enterprises for long-term, sustained success.”

—Xavier Mufraggi, former CEO, YPO
