About this audiobook
Growth is a never-ending journey
The more we know, the more we realise we don’t know. Growth involves discomfort, taking risks and facing into the wind. It’s never easy, it’s always hard-won.
This book is an exploration of the counterintuitive aspects of growth. Seasoned online business leader and startup veteran David Norris combines insight from his hands-on experience with an unconventional approach of embracing paradox to propel both personal and business growth. He dives into strategic thinking, team leadership, and personal effectiveness, presenting a practical guide for founders, startup leaders, entrepreneurs and growth leaders as they face their own challenges.
“Growthadox” is an essential read for those prepared to challenge the status quo and navigate the non-obvious paths to success.
