Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly George, a former Medtronic CEO, sets the tone early in his book: “Somewhere along the way we lost sight of the imperative of selecting leaders that create healthy corporations for the long term.” It would be wonderful if George then provided readers hungry for change with a blueprint for how this could happen; alas, such is not the case.
