Summit OS: A Fable is a practical business parable written for growth-minded owners and CEOs of 15-100 employee privately held companies who are determined to scale their business without losing control, profitability, or peace of mind.

Through an engaging narrative, the book introduces the Summit OS business operating system, a step-by-step framework designed to help leadership teams align on strategy, execute effectively, and build durable competitive advantage. At the heart of the story is a struggling mid-size company facing stalled growth, fractured accountability, and frustrated leaders. Readers follow the journey of the company's CEO and leadership team as they discover new ways to clarify direction, focus their efforts, and empower their people to deliver results.

This is not a textbook or checklist. Instead, it is a business fable that illustrates how real-world leaders overcome the most common challenges faced by privately owned, growth-stage companies. From execution breakdowns and strategy gaps to the difficulty of building a truly self-managing organization, the lessons in Summit OS are delivered in a story format that is easy to read, relatable, and immediately applicable.

Written for entrepreneurs, founders, and CEOs preparing for their next stage of growth, improved profitability, or even eventual exit or succession, the book offers both inspiration and a practical roadmap. Whether your company is a professional services firm, a tech-enabled enterprise, or a distribution business, you will learn how to install tools that foster accountability, team empowerment, and sustainable growth.

Leaders will discover how to:

Align their executive team around a clear, shared vision Translate strategy into disciplined execution Build accountability and ownership throughout the organization Avoid burnout by creating a company that runs without constant oversight Dig a moat around their business by developing lasting competitive advantages

If you've read and enjoyed classics like The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, The Advantage, or Traction, you will recognize the power of a story-driven framework that blends inspiration with actionable tools. Summit OS: A Fable extends that tradition while providing a unique system designed specifically for the 15-100 employee company segment-a group often too complex for small-business playbooks but too lean for corporate bureaucracy.

By the end of the story, readers will not only see how the fictional company transforms its culture and results, but also envision how their own organization can climb higher, faster, and with greater confidence.

For owners and CEOs of privately held growth companies, this book is a field guide to building the business you've always envisioned: profitable, sustainable, self-managing, and ultimately more valuable.
