“Growing a Business” is a guide for all entrepreneurs and managers who want to grow their business faster and more efficiently. Overcome the fear of growth and learn from the best how to avoid mistakes that can cost you dearly. Verne Harnish’s team has built their theory on the four most important decision-making areas of a manager, which are closely related to each other: people, strategy, execution, money. Each of these areas is based on one key question, and these areas are accompanied by specific growth tools. To support the creation of a company that dominates its field, the advice provided in the book focuses on redirecting the company’s employees. If the focus of top management and the employees who support them is in place and if the proposed tools are successfully implemented, it is possible to multiply cash flow, exceed average profitability, and increase the value of the company compared to competitors. Of course, there will be obstacles along these steps (lack of leadership, managing a growing infrastructure, unsuccessful growth of the marketing function), but the book offers simple key habits to overcome them more smoothly. The rules are simple and the examples are inspiring; take one step at a time and don't forget to enjoy the process. Adopt the Rockefeller Habits in your leadership and planning and achieve long-term success.
According to author Verne Harnish, success belongs to those who have an inexhaustible desire to learn and an unquenchable will to act. Those who win are constantly looking for better ways to do things and improve. They don't sit idly by, letting others pass them by. They use their tools and resources to overcome obstacles and make things happen.
