“Grow Before You Go: A Baby Boomer Founder’s Guide to Exiting Without Regrets”
In Grow Before You Go, Ken Reiter reveals a powerful truth: scaling a company is only half the journey—preparing it to thrive after your exit is where legacy is truly forged. After building profitable companies, selling software used by the United Nations and U.S. Army, and spending nearly a decade as a fractional COO and EOS Integrator, Ken has seen what happens when founders step away without a plan—and the chaos that follows. This book offers a strategic path to exit not by walking away, but by building up leaders, systems, and culture before you transition out.
Drawing from his military foundations and servant-leadership philosophy, Ken shows that exiting well is not about disappearing—it’s about preparing others to rise. He demonstrates how operational discipline, clear decision pathways, and scalable frameworks create a company that continues to grow even when the founder shifts roles. Through firsthand stories and practical tools, Grow Before You Go equips leaders to replace heroics with alignment, bottlenecks with empowerment, and burnout with clarity.
Through candid reflections and battle-tested strategies, Ken illustrates how founders can transfer authority without losing influence, scale operations without losing heart, and create value that outlives their tenure. He shows how discipline, when paired with empathy-driven leadership, builds organizations that don’t rely on a single person to function—turning exits from emotional endings into purposeful new beginnings.
“Grow Before You Go” goes beyond succession planning and exit strategy.

MEET THE MAN BEHIND THE BOOK

Ken Reiter
Ken Reiter built his career on a simple belief: great companies aren’t powered by visionary ideas alone—they thrive when strategy, people, and systems work in lockstep. From serving as a U.S. Army Drill Sergeant Instructor to bootstrapping a software company deployed by the United Nations and U.S. Army, Ken has spent decades turning complex operations into precise, scalable execution.
After selling his software and leading technology and operations at multiple growth-stage companies, Ken shifted his focus to helping leaders build organizations that can run—and scale—without relying on a single individual. Over nearly a decade as a fractional COO and EOS Integrator, he has guided mid-market companies through strategic planning, operational discipline, and leadership alignment, transforming reactive teams into high-performance organizations.
Today, Ken leads The Strategy Playbook, where he partners with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams to streamline operations, reduce friction, and build companies positioned for long-term success and maximum exit value. His approach blends military-forged discipline with servant-leadership principles developed through 12 years of mentoring leaders in the Boy Scouts of America.
Driven by a commitment to service and systems that empower people, Ken helps businesses do more than grow—he helps them grow with purpose.

What People Are Saying About This Game-Changing Book On...
A must-read for founders facing transition.
Review By Karen M.
“Ken doesn’t just talk about exiting—he shows you how to build a business that thrives after you’re gone. Grow Before You Go gave me a clear roadmap to delegate, empower my team, and stop being the bottleneck. Every Boomer founder needs this.”
Finally, a book that blends heart and operational clarity.
Review By Dr. Samuel R.
“Most business books focus on tactics or personal mindset—this one does both. Ken brings military discipline and servant-leadership together in a way that’s actionable and deeply human.”
“A masterclass in operational leadership.”
Grow Before You Go offers a fresh perspective on exiting—not as an ending, but as a strategic evolution. Ken Reiter blends real-world leadership experience with practical frameworks to prepare founders and successor teams to scale with confidence. This book helped our team define roles, tighten processes, and build accountability before bringing in new leadership.
Lisa Thompson

“Clear, actionable, and grounded in real experience.”
I've read countless books on scaling, but Ken’s approach stands out because he’s actually lived every phase—from startup to exit to fractional leadership. His process for transferring authority without losing culture will help countless founder-led companies grow beyond one leader.
David Nguyen

“The missing link between EOS, succession, and leadership.”
So many companies implement frameworks like EOS but still fail to transition leadership effectively. Ken bridges that gap. Grow Before You Go shows how systems, people, and purpose must evolve together to sustain the business beyond the founder.
