It's All About Who
With his mind, his heart, and his hands, Mort Mandel has created an enormously successful life by every measure. What does it take to build an enduring company from the ground up? What does it take to transform a social enterprise into a high-performing organization that touches the lives of people around the world? What does it take to live a life that really matters? The answers to these questions can be found in the lessons that Mort Mandel can teach us. It's All About Who is not your typical CEO biography, nor is it yet another "management" book. Instead, it is the story of a man and the practices that have allowed him to craft a life of great significance.
The book reflects the dual perspective of someone with long-term commitments in two worlds-the for-profit and the not-for-profit sectors. Mandel explains that whether you want to earn more money or change the world, getting the best possible people into key roles is more important than anything else. He shows how improving the quality of leadership can lead to the other components for success: creative strategy, superb execution, and superior client or grantee satisfaction. And he illustrates how a commitment to values and the pursuit of excellence can deliver as much impact in the social world as in the corporate world. This is the essence of great leadership-and the basis of Mandel's conviction that a single individual has the power to change the world.
Throughout his unprecedented and fascinating American success story, Mandel underscores his fundamental belief that a life without meaning, purpose, and commitment isn't a life at all.
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

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.
