Leadership in Action: Tough-Minded Strategies from the Global Giant
In matters of leadership on the global frontier, there is no one more capable to comment than Helmut Maucher, the German-born head of the world's largest food company.
Now, for the first time in a book, Maucher speaks out about his management style and philosophy - illustrating his own views with the successes he has witnessed at Nestle. A no-nonsense executive who cut financial reporting at Nestle to "one sheet of paper" and slashed staff functions ("I can read the newspapers myself"), Maucher's preferred leadership style is management by provocation. In this book, he gives unique insights into a wide array of issues facing all companies in today's challenging global economy.
