Summary

"Make decisions based on common sense. Avoid the herd mentality. COntrol expenses with unrelenting vigil. Execute the fundamentals. Free your motivated, intelligent people from the chain of command. Hire PSDs (poor, smart, with a deep desire to become rich). And stay humble, humble, humble. These are just some of Alan C. Greenberg's management truths. And they've served him and his company well. Since taking over as chairman 18 years ago, this cigar-smoking, shirt-sleeved trader has helped transform Bear Sterns into one of the most profitable investment banks in the world. And one way he's done it is through the judicious use of memos that inspire, exhort, and coax his colleagues on to ever-greater efficience and prosperity. Now, after gathering a reputation in financial circles over the years, Ace Greenberg's wise and often humorous messages are collected in 'Memos from the Chairman, ' where they combine to create a unique management philosophy. Focused, simple and sane, it's a philosophy that will benefit everyone in business, from Fortune 500 CEOs, to middle managers, to entrepreneurs"--Jacket of print edition.
