by Sandy Weill and Judah S. Kraushaar If you don't know Sandy Weill, you surely know his crown business jewel; Citigroup. In a new book now available on CD-Rom, Mr. Weill shares his provocative and hard-learned lessons in business and life. More than the typical Wall Street type, he will be remembered as much for his philanthropy, namely tireless devotion to making Carnegie Hall in Manhattan what it is today. Evolving Citigroup from a small consumer loan company into the leading global bank it is today, he provided an unprecedented 2,600 percent return to investors in the transition. Mr. Weill's no-hold-barred style makes this book a great learning experience for newly minted MBA's; while CEO's seeking a recipe for business and personal success may find that it helps them to re-define their search. Mr. Weill’s daily inspiration is his long term life partner and wife Joan, who is central to maintaining his perspective in a career and life that could have been derailed by business and familial debacles. This is an important narration for those looking for a warts-and-all insight into the world of global business, as well as those seeking an understanding of the ‘need to give back,’ both for the greater good of humanity and for the humility it brings to oneself - which, as Sandy Weill knows well, is something money can't buy. Co-written by Judah S. Kraushaar, a former director at Merrill Lynch, and narrated by Harry Chase whose voice adds an authoritative depth to the written word, the 6 disk set (which features a conversation with Chuck Prince) opens with an introduction byMr. Weill. |
