Top-ranking author and business mentor Verne Harnish is set to host an exclusive seminar in the UAE in October, in conjunction with regional affiliates biz-ability, following his being named as one of the world’s foremost business minds for fast-growth companies.
Verne Harnish, author of Mastering the Rockefeller Habits, was this month ranked #4 in strategy books on Amazon.com, joining acclaimed business guru Jim Collins with his Good to Great and Built to Last, as well as the top-selling The Toyota Way by Jeffrey Liker.
Mastering the Rockefeller Habits is a how-to strategy book – which the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry chose to supply to all attendees at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Business Award earlier this year – gained 5-star recommendations for its proven business disciplines.
Dubbed “The Growth Guy” due to his renowned business mentoring of fast-growth companies across the globe, Verne will host on October 7 a one-day invitation-only event in Dubai for top senior management teams under the title of ”Stay Ahead of the Growth Game”.
“Fast-growth businesses can fast lose sight of their focus and strategy,” Verne said.
“Armed with a killer strategy and a set of the proven ready-to-implement Gazelles Rockefeller Habits, companies can be well on the way to getting back on track and staying on track in these rapidly moving times in the Middle East.”
Accredited Gazelles coach & biz-ability CEO Hazel Jackson said the full-day workshop would allow senior management teams to come together to progress towards a high-impact easy-to-follow One Page Plan, with clear direction and accountability targets, as well as the set of highly acclaimed business ‘habits’ which have propelled many of the world’s top companies to perpetual success.
