The Gazelles Growth Method™ and the Rockefeller Habits™

In the business world, a Gazelle is a small to mid-sized company that is experiencing or wants rapid growth. Just like its African counterpart, a Gazelle has to run harder and work smarter to thrive in today's competitive envirionment.

Gazelles is an international organization that provides its clients with a definitive suite of practical and actionable tools. These are documented by Verne Harnish, the founder of Gazelles, in his book, Mastering the Rockefeller Habits. They are the same habits John D. Rockefeller used to dominate both his industry and era and are proven to be ideally suited to help today's entrepreneurs of fast growth companies.

Michael Synk, a Certified Gazelles Partner, has helped many clients propel their growth by effectively implementing the Gazelles material.

Rockefeller's disciplined approach to business replaced the helter-skelter methods of the original pioneering speculators-and catapulted him to the lead in the oil industry. These important practices need to be embraced by all companies eager to expand. Thousands of business owners have benefited from the simple, practical techniques outlined in Mastering the Rockefeller Habits.

Framework
Within a framework of Four Decisions and Three Disciplines, or habits that must be applied to each of these decisions, Rockefeller's Habits is designed to be readily integrated into an organization.
