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. He built a $3 billion company from scratch, yet managed to spend up to a third of his time in the social sector, building and supporting nonprofit organizations. He believes that running a business and running a nonprofit are much the same, except that they're valued by different outcomes, and that his social work made him a better entrepreneur. Mandel shows how leaders can create lives of meaning and profitability. His fascinating story (including his work with Peter Drucker, and the warts-and-all tale of the botched sale of his company) provides both inspiration and lessons on the leadership skills - such as building culture, customer relationships and execution - necessary to achieve crossover success.
