From Penguin’s website:

Canada’s most successful private companies invite readers behind the closed doors of winning enterprises to share critical lessons in achieving business excellence.

In Power of the Best, Peter Brown and John Hughes delve into the key themes that are essential to business success, illustrated by front-line examples from owners and executives of Canada’s Best Managed Companies, including the following well-known companies from a wide array of industries and regions:

Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada

GoodLife Fitness

McCain Foods (Canada)

Running Room

SiriusXM Canada

Brown and Hughes discuss how these leading companies have excelled in the Canadian and global marketplace. Their management teams lead the way in technology, sustainability, branding & marketing, mergers & acquisitions, funding growth, succession planning, leadership, globalization, attracting & retaining talent, and in productivity. Throughout this book, senior business executives explain in their own words how these issues are being addressed and leveraged to their advantage, providing insights not only into their own businesses but also into the strategies that entrepreneurs and executives in enterprises large and small need to master, regardless of their specific product or service.

Presented by NBIF and Cox & Palmer, Breakthru is a bi-annual business plan competition that will see three new entrepreneurial companies get started. In total, $406,000 in investments and services will be awarded.
