Education[edit]

Harnish received a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and an M.B.A. from Wichita State University, where he founded and chaired the Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs.[9]

Writing career[edit]

Harnish is an author, often writing as the "Growth Guy" columnist for several publications.

In 2002, he published Mastering the Rockefeller Habits. He created the "Rockefeller Habits" [10][11] concept based on the leadership and management practices used by John D. Rockefeller. In the book, Harnish outlined three "pillars" to the habits: "Priorities", "Data" and "Rhythm". He recommends the practice of holding "huddles", or short daily meetings, in order for small business to maintain focus on strategic goals and establish accountability.[12][13][14][15]

His newest book is Scaling Up: How a Few Companies Make It...and Why the Rest Don't, which received several awards.[16][17][18]
