How do great organisations go from paper to profit? What are the secrets to sound, lucrative decision-making? And how can you analyse executive and company performance for smarter investing — as a leader or a shareholder? In The Founder Effect: Three Pillars of Success in Founder-Led Companies, investment funds manager Lawrence Lam identifies the intangible elements that drive the success behind outstanding global companies.

Backed by behavioural psychology, case studies and examples from some of the world’s most iconic brands, The Founder Effect shows you how to uncover a business’s potential for profit.
