ABOUT THE BOOK

Verne Harnish, serial entrepreneur, advisor, and venture investor, 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. 

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).
