Author of the acclaimed Profit from the Core trilogy, Zook’s 2016 book, The Founder’s Mentality, shows how leaders can overcome the predictable crises of growth, and set their companies on a path of sustainable growth. In Repeatability (HBR Press, 2012), he argues that complexity is a silent killer of profitable growth, while successful companies endure by maintaining simplicity at their core.

A best-seling author, his “growth trilogy” books received widespread critical support, with Beyond the Core recognized by The Economist as one of the top five business and economic books in the year it was published, and Unstoppable identified by The Financial Timesas one of the notable business books of the year.
