There is no MBA program or university in the world that teaches CEOs, Managers and Executives how to scale a company.
Jim Collins, in the classic, best-selling book Good To Great, found it took the average “great” company 8 to 10 years to figure out its internal systems to scale. At AirTight Management, we have been helping companies do this in 12 to 18 months since 2011.
