Synopsis

The Fortune 500 list, defined by size and volume, is the current measure of success in the corporate world. This timely book suggests instead a ""Fortunate 500"" list, based on the quality of service available to customers and the quality of life accessible to employees. Managing by Values shows how all stakeholders in a company can win based on their commitment to a common purpose and a set of shared values emphasizing stability, continuity, and growth, all in an ethical context. More than a ""must read,"" this book is a ""must do"" that shows organizations, owners, managers, and employees how to create and apply a plan to ensure they survive - and thrive.
