How do you turn a small startup into a publicly listed international technology company? How do you make decisions in times of crisis, uncertainty, and rapid change? These questions are explored in "On Course for Growth", a new book by Przemysław Gacek, co-founder and CEO of Grupa Pracuj. The Polish edition was published on October 2, 2026, with an English edition coming soon.
More than 25 years of leading Grupa Pracuj have taught me that remarkable outcomes rarely have remarkable causes. Most often, they result from years of consistent decisions made day after day. In this book, I describe both the right choices and the mistakes, crises, and moments of doubt. I wanted to reveal what usually remains invisible between the successive stages of a company’s growth.
- says Przemysław Gacek, co-founder and CEO of Grupa Pracuj
Most business books focus only on success. This one is different. The hard lessons from Ukraine, the challenges of building a business in Germany, crises, and moments of doubt are described just as openly as the company’s IPO. And it does not separate business from life, because in reality they cannot be separated. That is what makes this book authentic.
