What’s behind the financial crisis of ’08? The list goes on and on. Real estate speculation, poor public policy, unrestrained lending, shoddy regulation but what’s behind this list? Answer: The Phase Three Virus

What every CEO needs to know–your company is booming, fueled by an aggressive staff whose confidence and work ethic has delivered an enviable bottom line. The stock price continues to soar, investors are lining up, and your team is riding high, ready for more. The very model of American corporate success, right? Unfortunately, it’s also the perfect breeding ground for an insidious virus that can bring it all down. In Killing Your Company, financial expert Tim Scala exposes a widespread problem most people either don’t recognize or refuse exists. He’s dubbed it the Phase Three Virus because it infects both companies and individuals during the third phase of professional development. Conceived in the rapid rise of success, powered by arrogance and denial, the Phase Three Virus pushes people to reach beyond their grasp, leaving them nowhere to go but down.
