Guest Blog from Verne Harnish — "The Growth Guy" 

"Because of the Mastering the Rockefeller Habits workshop, we identified the key factors to increase our net income, and by assigning ownership at every level we have been successful. The One-Page Plan allows us to stay focused on the numbers."

"I invested in a company doing $7 million, instituted the Rockefeller Habits, and it went to $1.2 billion in 3 years. The tools work!"

There are Four Decisions™ (outlined below) you must get right or you risk leaving substantial business on the table. One will be most critical to your specific business. Here's a short white paper which outlines these four decisions and guidance on which of the four is most critical to you.

Gazelles has updated its time-tested One-Page tools for helping you make these decisions including our One-Page Strategic Plan, that serves as the foundation of the Four Decisions™ (Rockefeller Habits) Executive Workshops this fall.

More than 22,000 executives like Alan Rudy have accelerated their business growth by bringing their executive team to this workshop where they've learned how to apply our "People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash" One-Page tools to their business.

During the workshop, you'll start to learn and apply:

• Cash Flow Optimization Tools (Cash Conversion Cycle) – An exercise and process to increase and protect your cash flow during these turbulent times — cash is king!
• The Gazelles Signature One-Page Strategic Plan - A simple and practical tool to get your whole team on the same page for 2012.
• Priorities, Metrics and Communication Rhythms - The Three Disciplines that create clarity, alignment and accountability so your team will execute with operational excellence and solve the number one internal challenge in business: communication.
• The 10 Rockefeller Habits Checklist – These 10 habits will reduce (by 80 percent!) the time you need to manage the business so you can focus more time on market-facing activities that drive revenue growth.

Each workshop is led by a Gazelles International certified coach with a proven record of helping organizations grow. This fall, we have workshops in the U.S., Canada, and Europe — check the list below to see if a workshop is coming to your area!

Space is limited and workshops fill up quickly, so visit our event page to learn more and register to bring your leadership team to focus on the four decisions you must get right for 2012: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash.
