What questions would you ask the CEOs of Washington's fastest growing companies? What I have so far:
1. How did you grow an executive team that is capable of, and hungry for, growth?
2. During 2003-2005, what were your business goals?
3. What role does goal setting play in your organization, and also for your executives and yourself?
4. What's one question you wish I would ask you? (Thanks to Mary Anne for this question)
5. What do you think drove your company's growth?
I will also have a few questions for each person.
Any questions you would add to the list?
6. How did you balance increased growth with keeping control of costs and headcount? (Thanks to Wendy of eMomsathome.com)

I feel my own business getting bigger than I can handle, but I can only justify hiring a tiny amount of help! I'd like to know how they have managed such fast growth while minimizing expenses and limiting added head count? I'd end that question "without going crazy", but then I might not get any answers at all! ;)

What are they passionate about? What gets them out of bed in the morning (with a smile on their faces) and what keeps them up at night?
How do they pass their passion on to their employees? (Studies show that passionate/happy employees lead to happy customers/an improved bottom line...)
