Scaling Up

Verne Harnish's Scaling Up (Mastering the Rockefeller Habits 2.0) is a practical operating system for growing a company without it descending into chaos. Harnish organises the work of scaling around four decisions every business must get right: People, Strategy, Execution and Cash. Get the right people doing the right things, craft a strategy that drives sustainable growth, build the execution discipline (rhythms, priorities and metrics) to deliver it, and ensure you have the cash to fuel it all. The book is full of one-page tools — the One-Page Strategic Plan, the quarterly "rocks," daily huddles and a core set of KPIs — that turn big ambitions into weekly behaviour. For B2B leaders it is less a marketing book than the management backbone that lets marketing, sales and operations pull in the same direction, which is exactly the kind of cross-functional alignment this portal is designed to support across each tenant's growth plan.
