How a tiny start-up slayed an industry giant before redefining the way workers are managed around the globe.This book recounts a success story rooted in one individual's desire to embrace his entrepreneurial spirit and forge his own company.

The result was a company that could and would truly stand the test of time.His guiding philosophy of "e;If it isn't broke, fix it anyway!"e; applied in equal measure to the products and solutions Kronos provided to its ever-expanding customer base and to the way the company was structured and operated to consistently reinvest in its employees.Kronos, today known as the Ultimate Kronos Group, is now a multi-billion-dollar global organization of almost 13,000 employees. And Mark, the epitome of a triumphant business creator, has decided the time is right to share his own experiences to inspire a next generation of like-minded visionaries.
