It's All About Who You Hire, How They Lead

Mort Mandel

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Jason Evanish liked it affiliate
Mort Mandel is a billionaire you've probably never heard of. He escaped the horrors of WWI Poland with his mother to come to America and eventually started a company with his 2 brothers. In this book, Mandel shares his recipe for leading his company to success over the years as well as helping a number of non-profits have a tremendous impact. There's an excellent chapter on his relationship with Peter Drucker and some great lessons on values, but the book also feels like it was stretched in the second half.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
