The CEO and the Monk: One Company's Journey to Profit and Purpose
Reputations
(By Robert B. Catell, Kenny Moore, and Glen Rifkin)
Finally, good news from inside the Corporate World! As the media focus our attention on corporate
wrongdoing, the show trials of the rich and powerful, stratospheric salaries of greedy CEOs, and the
"unaccountability" of managers and Wall Streeters comes a heartwarming and inspiration story of a
Fortune 500 company with a soul. The CEO and the Monk is the inside story of Keyspan's dramatic
growth over the past decade, of its hands-on CEO, of the difficulties encountered as the "family"
of a 100-year old, conservative utility absorbs the shocks of mergers and acquisitions and grows
from $1 billion to $6 billion in revenues, tripling its workforce. All the while maintaining a clear
focus on doing the right thing...and blowing the numbers out of the water while not losing its soul,
as one financial analyst observed. Read the rest of Hank's review on Amazon.com by clicking the title above. |
