The Real Deal:
My Life in Business and Philanthropy
by Sandy Weill and Judah S. Kraushaar
Read By Harry Chase
If you don't know Sandy Weill, you surely know his crown business jewel; Citigroup. In a new book now available on
CD-Rom, Mr. Weill shares his provocative and hard-learned lessons in business and life. More than the typical Wall
Street type, he will be remembered as much for his philanthropy, namely tireless devotion to making Carnegie Hall
in Manhattan what it is today. Evolving Citigroup from a small consumer loan company into the leading global bank
it is today, he provided an unprecedented 2,600 percent return to investors in the transition. Mr. Weill's
no-hold-barred style makes this book a great learning experience for newly minted MBA's; while CEO's seeking a
recipe for business and personal success may find that it helps them to re-define their search.
Mr. Weill’s daily inspiration is his long term life partner and wife Joan, who is central to maintaining his
perspective in a career and life that could have been derailed by business and familial debacles. This is an
important narration for those looking for a warts-and-all insight into the world of global business, as well as
those seeking an understanding of the ‘need to give back,’ both for the greater good of humanity and for the
humility it brings to oneself - which, as Sandy Weill knows well, is something money can't buy.
Co-written by Judah S. Kraushaar, a former director at Merrill Lynch, and narrated by Harry Chase whose voice
adds an authoritative depth to the written word, the 6 disk set (which features a conversation with Chuck Prince)
opens with an introduction byMr. Weill. |
