Harnish

Entrepreneur. Bestselling author, business consultant. The man called the "Growth Guy" because he has taught thousands of companies around the world how to grow.
Verne Harnish grew up watching his father build a thriving business and then lose it all in the 1973 recession. By fifteen, Verne was cleaning offices after school to survive.
That experience, watching a dream collapse overnight, stayed with him and shaped the entire career that followed.
In 1987, he founded the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO), today a global network of over eighteen thousand business owners, built on one simple idea: it’s okay to be independent, but there’s no reason to be alone.
He founded Scaling Up, a global coaching company with partners on six continents, and for fifteen years he chaired the legendary CEO program at MIT, where he still teaches today. In 2002, he published "Mastering the Rockefeller Habits," which became an absolute classic of business literature, was translated into dozens of languages and was used by more than a hundred thousand companies around the world to grow. It was later followed by "Scaling Up," hailed as one of the most influential business books of the past decade.
Over four decades, Verne has advised thousands of companies and become one of the world’s most respected voices on a single subject: how to turn a small business into one that dominates its market. For fifteen years, he chaired the legendary CEO program at MIT, where he still teaches today.
