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).
