Publisher's summary

Leadership wisdom from a former CEO and Self-Made Billionaire

With corporations now associated in the public mind primarily with greed and unethical practices, it's more important than ever for leaders to move the focus back onto integrity, honesty, and doing the right thing. Mort Mandel, a CEO whom Peter Drucker esteemed in the same category as Jack Welch and Andy Grove, has spent the past seven decades mixing business and philanthropy, to the great enhancement of both. In this book, Mandel shows how leaders can create lives of both meaning and profitability.

  • Contains Mort Mandel's fascinating story (including his work with Peter Drucker, and the painful sale of Mandel's company)
  • Provides both inspiration and lessons on the leadership skills such as building culture, customer relationships, and execution that are necessary to achieve crossover success
  • Shows how running a business and a nonprofit made Mandel a better entrepreneur and a self-made billionaire

The book is filled with lessons learned from how Mort Mandel built a $3 billion company from scratch, yet also managed to spend up to a third of his time in the social sector, building and supporting nonprofit organizations.

Worth it's weight in Gold

The title of the book is kind of simplistic. You probably never heard of the name Mort Mandel. These are the thoughts that went through my mind when I encountered this book. Yet here I am, craving to write my first review after reading dozens of books on Kindle and Audible and never reviewing even the highly acclaimed gems. I needed to write this review so that more people will discover this hidden gem. If you are someone who think of yourself as on a perpetual journey of self discovery, want to create something of awesome value in this world and lead a purposeful life, this story of Mr. Mort Mandel is an important milestone in your journey. The insights in this book are so good that I went back multiple times to re-listen. This book is truly worth it's weight in Gold.
