Jim Collins wrote Good to Great in 2001. Some of those companies no longer exist. But the things that Collins talks about are still relevant. The 3 things that companies need to grow include:

Culture

Focus. Sharp focus on a product set that is profitable. A focus on sales and marketing.

Systems. Policies and procedures written down and trained on. On-boarding of employees and customers. You can't scale without them.

Even Peter Drucker agrees.
