I’m writing this while I’m in Baltimore for an end-of-year review of Agora’s seven domestic and six international publishing groups, which will be followed by their annual holiday party.
This year’s reviews are much better than they’ve been since 2021. The success that’s been achieved in moving through the slough and rebuilding our business is more than I expected. And that, I’m happy to say, is due to a new generation of creatives and executives who understand the business better than we did when we grew it from $8 million to more than a billion.
Listening to these youngsters has me thinking about our possibilities for the future. And for the moment, that has inspired me to put together this issue about how to grow and regrow successful businesses.
