Editorial Reviews:
“A worthy successor to Michael Porter, Bova’s book is that rare gift: it opens doors for new ideas and new actions.
No glib answers here, simply hard-won wisdom that will provoke big changes for organizations large and small.” -SETH GODIN, Author Of Linchpin
“Too many companies foster cultures of burnout in the pursuit of short-term growth as an end in itself. Smart growth is sustainable growth and Tiffani Bova shows us how to maintain it by building a purpose-led culture and leveraging, instead of sacrificing, the dedication of your people.” -ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, Founder & CEO Of Thrive Global, Founder Of Huffington Post
“We all want our business to grow, but how can we make that happen? Fortunately, Tiffani Bova is here with answers.

And she backs her findings with solid data and examples from thriving companies. You’ve got a choice: Tread the old paths or follow Bova into the future.” -DANIEL H. PINK, Author Of When And Drive
“Tiffani Bova has a knack for rendering complex insights in clear, elegant prose. Growth IQ tackles the biggest question in business.” -MARTIN LINDSTROM, Author Of Buyology And Small Data
“Look, I LOVE this book. PERIOD. Growth IQ has a crisp, clean, and valuable superstructure. And it’s well written. Those things are great, but no the basis for my love affair. The love comes from Stories. Stories. Stories. Ten sound strategies, thirty compelling, memorable stories–from Starbucks and McDonald’s to Under Armour and Red Bull. If these stories don’t inspire you and add a ton to your stockpile of personal intellectual capital, I don’t know what will. Bravo Tiffani Bova!” -TOM PETERS, Author Of In Search Of Excellence
“Whether you’re planning to disrupt an industry or protect your company from competitors, GROWTH IQ shows how urgent it is to choose the right path. This choice can be overwhelming but Tiffani simplifies your options into ten proven paths and empowers you to embark upon the right one for you with confidence…and results. Our love affair with comfort zones can be our downfall;
Tiffani reminds us that almost all the good stuff happens when we venture off the well-trodden trail into uncharted–and therefore uncertain–territory. With her guidance, we discover that the uncertainty need not be so daunting–through examples, savvy, deeply-experienced analysis and synthesis, and valuable checklists, Tiffani will provide a bump to anyone’s GROWTH IQ.” -WHITNEY JOHNSON, Thinkers50 Management Thinker, Author Of Disrupt Yourself
“This book captures the essence of how to consistently grow an enterprise through relentless customer focus… Tiffani Bova is the quintessential storyteller… leading us through a framework that gives structure to our growth strategy. As a founder some of these things are innate… but this book is a valuable tool to inspire my leaders throughout each of our businesses.
It made me giggle too, I remember my CFO asking (as we hit our growth stride)… “what is it that worked?” The answer, of course, is everything. We are in the 1% game now, looking and seeking growth of 1% from each of our initiatives – combined they deliver double-digit growth annually. Thanks, Tiffani for writing this down… a guidebook for all leaders to inspire those around them.” -NAOMI SIMSON, Shark – Shark Tank Australia, Founder Of RedBalloon, Cofounder Of Big Red Group
“Growth is top of mind for every company, but the path to achieving sustained growth can be elusive.
