The Rockefeller Habits framework is based on the leadership and management principles used by John D. Rockefeller, one of the most successful businessmen in history. It focuses on prioritizing, setting measurable goals, and establishing a rhythm of execution to drive scalability and efficiency within an organization. The framework is widely adopted for its structured approach to improving strategic planning, communication, and accountability across all levels of a company.
