Herman Cain as a turnaround artist
h/t Instapundit, PowerLineHerman Cain, the Republican presidential hopeful, says he can turn around the country just as he did Godfather's Pizza 25 years ago. Business success has never guaranteed political success. But Cain demonstrated during a tour with Pillsbury Co. in the 1980s that he is a successful, charismatic leader. With flair and hard work, he turned around Pillsbury's struggling Philadelphia Burger King region and revived a near-dead Godfather's Pizza. "My career spans 38 years and I've worked for 26 different managers," said Frank Taylor, a recently retired Burger King financial executive whom Cain hired as his regional controller in 1983. "Herman was far and away the best I've worked for in terms of getting a team together, sharing a vision and accomplishing the goals. And nothing diverted him." Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2011-11-01 |
