Scaling Up

Verne Harnish

People, Strategy, Execution, Cash — one-page tools and habits for healthy, sustainable growth without overextending resources.

Why it's on the shelf

What I actually took from it.

Harnish's four decisions — People, Strategy, Execution, Cash — sound almost too simple until you try to run a real portfolio without a system for tracking them. The one-page plan is the tool I've stolen most directly for how Vilna Gaon reviews each holding every quarter.

“Harnish's four decisions — People, Strategy, Execution, Cash — are the same four I check every quarter across the portfolio. Growth without the habits just means breaking faster.”
