Here Forever: The Timeless Impact of John Smale on Procter & Gamble, General Motors, and the Purpose and Practice of Business takes readers on a journey of discovery into the life of John Smale, one of the most influential corporate leaders of the second half of the 20th century. Smale grew Procter & Gamble more than six-fold during his 21 years of leadership as President, CEO & Chairman of the board. He helped General Motors regain momentum and set a new standard for corporate governance that transformed the role that Boards of public companies are expected to play. He championed diversity and defined a corporate vision for the role of social responsibility in business that was decades ahead of his time. Here Forever provides timeless lessons on executive leadership, including: Why knowing what to do when faced with tough choices is more important than knowing how Why having the business mindset to think in decades is the factor that most sets great leaders apart Why great companies are social institu-tions that need to be nurtured and per-petuated over time Why the two greatest gifts leaders can provide are high expectations and unre-served trust Why leaders must champion and protect the innovators in their organization >Author and journalist Rob Garver takes readers on a journey of discovery into the life of John Smale and why his example is urgently relevant and deeply needed in today's volatile, fast-changing world. He also brings us into his own story and how his discovery of John Smale helped him navigate a devastating per-sonal loss. John Smale's life is remarkably timeless and timely. The principles by which he lived and led are as meaningful for leaders today as they were in his time. This book will help ensure his impact and legacy will be here with us--forever.
