SRA International grew from one person in his home basement to more
than 7,000 people and nearly $2 billion in revenue in thirty years.
The firm was profitable, revenue increased every year, and it
became highly admired for its values and culture. SRA was on the
Fortune list of 100 Best Places to Work in America for ten
consecutive years. The company's initial public offering on the New
York Stock Exchange was the sixth most successful in 2002, and the
price of its stock soared. Then, at the height of success, the top
management team changed twice, growth declined, the firm made a bad
acquisition, and the market it served began to decrease. SRA was
sold to a private equity firm. The new owners (including the
founder and author of this book) hired a dynamic young CEO who
implemented changes designed to restore values, culture, and
business success. As this account ends, the market was challenging,
but the outlook was promising. This book describes the lessons
learned through varied phases: startup, rapid growth, changes in
leadership, business problems, privatization; and it explains how
high ethics and a sense of service to customers, employees, and
society led to a very special company. Its intended audience is
business professionals in emerging and established companies and
for current and former employees and friends.
