The 22th Anniversary Edition of this growth company classic has been newly revised (2024). 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.
