Intentional Growth (A Proven Guide to Higher Performance and Better Outcomes for Your Company)

A Fast Company Press book.

A guide to the single most important discipline leaders must master to create enduring value: purposeful growth.

In an era overflowing with tools, data, and growth strategies, many organizations still struggle to translate ambition into meaningful results. Growth initiatives proliferate, but priorities blur, execution fragments, and momentum fades. Even companies that do scale often fall short of their true potential because they rely on outdated playbooks. The opportunity for growth has never been greater, but capturing it requires a fundamentally different approach.

In Intentional Growth, Matt Andersen draws on over twenty-five years of experience advising founders, executives, and boards across multiple industries to present his proven framework for higher performance. This book shows leaders how to align strategy, operating decisions, and investment choices around clearly defined outcomes, and how to measure what truly matters along the way. By connecting ambition to execution, execution to learning, and learning to compounded value, organizations can replace reactive growth with sustainable performance and results.

For leaders looking to build companies that pursue growth with purpose, Intentional Growth is a practical guide to a complete mindset shift, and an invitation to move beyond incremental progress and towards extraordinary outcomes, greater resilience, and long-term value.
