- Summary:
- "This engaging book relays how Mark Ain followed his grandmother's advice and forsook a plodding, mulish existence in the corporate world for the riskier and ultimately much more rewarding life of an entrepreneurial thoroughbred. Mark's role in the creation and growth of Kronos, a human capital management firm that now generates over $3 billion in annual revenue and, as the Ultimate Kronos Group (UKG), has over 12,000 employees, provides many valuable lessons. For those seeking to either follow in Mark's entrepreneurial footsteps or foster an entrepreneurial culture within more established organizations, the principles behind his success are instructive"-- Provided by publisher.
