Susko’s ambitious guide opens with an overview of the three key components of Metronomics: the establishment of a repeatable, structured process called a Compound Growth System, an “Open Playing Field” for staff and teams, and a CEO+Leadership team coach with mastery of the system. Susko then lays out in intricate detail the differences in hard-edge and soft-edge systems—and the urgency of maintaining balance between them for the benefit of a committed, cohesive, highly-performing team. The bulk of Metronomics takes readers through a case study, the quarterly progression of OpenDoor, a company whose team implements Susko’s framework and finds itself invigorated but still facing challenges.
The core chapters break down how OpenDoor progresses over three years using the Metronomics system. A coach who advocates for coaching, Susko explains what happened--and what should happen—at numerous team meetings, which can be repetitive but helps make the case of her system as a best-practice process rather than a quick fix. Detailed charts of meeting and agenda notes, combined with beautifully designed, well-placed diagrams, make the information easier to digest. Readers familiar with business management and leadership concepts will appreciate the clear-cut advice in this rigorous, practical guide.
Takeaway: CEOs and team leaders looking to grow their business will appreciate this straightforward management guide’s clear-cut, real-world knowledge.
