Mastering the Rockefeller Habits: What You Must Do to Increase the Value of Your Fast-Growth Firm Description
Mastering the Rockefeller Habits: What You Must Do to Increase the Value of Your Growth Firm
Thousands of business owners have benefited directly from the simple and practical "tools" outlined in Mastering the Rockefeller Habits. And in the opening of Verne Harnish's book over one hundred business leaders have provided testimonials to the power of the author's tools. These tools come from founder and program chair of the world-renowned MIT/Inc./EO "Birthing of Giants" executive program, Verne Harnish's almost two decades of working with the CEOs and executive teams of fast growth firms.
The fundamental ideas that produce real market value and owner wealth are based on the same "habits" John D. Rockefeller employed to master the oil industry. During that era Rockefeller's disciplined approach to business replaced the helter-skelter methods of the original pioneering speculators. These important disciplines explained Mastering the Rockefeller Habits need to be embraced by all companies that want to prosper in the upcoming decade.

Verne is truly the "entreprenuer's guru" - he knows our strengths and weaknesses to a prefect tee and Mastering the Rockefeller Habits is "the well" of inspiration for entreprenuers at any stage of their businesses.
What makes Verne the true genius is the fact that all of the ideas and concepts he talks about in the book are tangible resources that you can EFFORTLESSLY implement into your organization. Most books are full of ideas and leave the reader to "re-create the wheel" in order to make the ideas come to life, but Verne knows entrepreneurs well and has removed the burden of responsiblity to create the tanglibles he talks about.
I love to read, and have a lot of favorites including Good to Great, Wizard of Ads, Topgrading, The E-Myth and Execution -- but Mastering the Rockefeller Habits is truly the most practical and inspiring book an entreprenuer can read.

Harnish covers some good points for smaller businesses and entrepreneurs but I honestly don't think he did much research on John D. Rockefeller, his methods and the Standard Oil corporation. I gained MUCH more insight into Rockefeller by reading the superbly researched and detailed biography of Rockefeller, "Titan", than I did reading Harnish's book. Harnish actually spends more time discussing case studies of medium to small business than he does on Rockefeller. The cynical view of Harnish is that he and the publishing company used Rockefeller's name and legend to sell the book, while actually providing little insight into the Rockefeller business system. In this instance, I'm inclined to cynicism.
This is a good book for entrepreneurs, not for understanding Rockefeller, his genius or his habits. I would not recommend this to someone interested in learning more about the business system and principles of Rockefeller.
