Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com
C. William Pollard, chairman of the $3 billion ServiceMaster Company, believes that a commitment to people--employees as well as customers--is the real reason for his worldwide corporation's continuous growth in revenue and profit during the past quarter century. In The Soul of the Firm, he explains just how that bond has been forged and how it is now manifested in a company that claims more than 200,000 employees and more than six million customers in 31 countries.

From the Publisher
A passion for people is the key to the soul of the firm

In an age of ubiquitous downsizing, the idea of a company's loyalty to its employees seems almost outdated. Yet The ServiceMaster Company has built an international success on a commitment to the growth and development of its people - a commitment that chairman C. William Pollard calls The Soul of the Firm.
