Frontiers of Excellence: Lessons from Organizations that Put People First |

Robert H. Waterman
Founder
The Waterman Group

It is often said the needs of shareholders are paramount. After looking at some of America's most successful companies Mr. Waterman concludes that it is the needs of employees and customers that must come first. Companies like Merck, Rubbermaid, Levi Strauss, Procter & Gamble, Federal Express, Hewlett-Packard, and 3M have as their main strategic advantage the organizational arrangements they have adopted. Mr. Waterman describes how these arrangements work and why these companies are so successful. These are the lessons from companies that put people first.
Robert Waterman
is probably best known for his book, In Search of Excellence, which he
co-authored with Tom Peters. He has recently published his fourth book, What
America Does Right: Learning From Companies That Put People First.
Mr. Waterman serves on the boards of AES Corporation, the Boise Cascade
Corporation, and the McKesson Corporation, and is a trustee of the World
Wildlife Fund, the Scleroderma Research Foundation, and the Restless Leg
Syndrome Foundation.
