Gebonden Engels 2013 9781118379882Samenvatting
American business leader, entrepreneur, and noted philanthropist Morton Mandel shares lessons he gleaned from co–founding and leading, along with his brothers Jack and Joe, Premier Industrial Corporation, a major industrial parts and electronic components manufacturer and distributor. Now for readers everywhere who are interested in studying leadership development, It s All About Who describes Mandel s approach to finding, recruiting and cultivating A players.
In his book, Mandel shares his fine–tuned set of practices to develop leaders that have proven to deliver dramatically better results. Containing sixteen core sections, It s All About Who covers key strategic topics from Building a Rich, Deep, and Ethical Culture to Killing Yourself for Your Customer to Using Business Ideas in the Social Sector.
What makes Mandel unique is his selflessness in pursuing a life of purpose. Mandel has lived in two worlds: the world of profit and the world of social impact. Even as chairman and CEO of a New York Stock Exchange company for more than three decades, he spent as much as a third of his time in the social sector.
Mandel has personally founded more than a dozen non–profit organizations. His deep–seated passion is evident in the mission of his Foundation: To invest in people with the values, ability and passion to change the world.
