The 20th Anniversary Edition of this growth company classic has been
newly revised (2022). Authored by Verne Harnish, serial entrepreneur,
advisor, and venture investor, the book brings to business leaders the
fundamentals that produce real wealth -- the same habits that typified
the second stage of the oil industry when John D. Rockefeller's
disciplined approach to business replaced the helter-skelter approach of
the original pioneering speculators. A quick read, it provides numerous
practical examples and case studies of growth firms - scaleups - using
Verne's tools like the One-Page Strategic Plan to scale their firms.
Founder of the world-renowned Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) and
founder Scaling Up (formerly Gazelles), a global executive education,
coaching, and technology firm. He's authored four bestselling books
including Mastering the Rockefeller Habits; The Greatest Business
Decisions of All Times, for which Jim Collins wrote the foreword;
Scaling Up Compensation; and Scaling Up (Rockefeller Habits 2.0
Revised).
