Book Description
Bottom (and top) line: To turn Home Depot around, Frank Blake restoked employee morale, zeroed in customer needs, and focused on the core business. Best of all, he wasn’t Bob Nardelli. What can you learn from Blake’s story? Sell the project, not the product. Jump without a (golden) parachute. And never hold yourself above your people. At Home Depot, the days of caviar and roses are past. The CEO with the huge salary and outsized ego is gone. The world’s largest home-improvement retail chain has slowed its once-relentless pace of expansion almost to a halt. It has sold its 34 Expo Design Centers, 14 specialty stores, and other grandiose, empire-building acquisitions. What remains is a company with roughly 350,000 employees, 2,238 stores around the world, and sales of more than $71 billion annually. After two years on the job, Home Depot’s unlikely savior is still almost anonymous enough to pose as a shopper when he visits his stores. The story of how Frank Blake and his colleagues turned the company around is a tale with lessons for us all. It’s as if Blake had stopped an explosion in mid-blast and turned it around, nestling all the fragments gently back into place. New Word City, publishers of digital originals, contributes 10 percent of its profits to literacy causes.
Built from Scratch

Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
One of the greatest entrepreneurial success stories of the past twenty years When a friend told Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank that “you’ve just been hit in the ass by a golden horseshoe,” they thought he was crazy. After all, both had just been fired. What the friend, Ken Langone, meant was that they now had the opportunity to create the kind of wide-open warehouse store that would help spark a consumer revolution through low prices, excellent customer service, and wide availability of products. Built from Scratch is the story of how two incredibly determined and creative people—and their associates—built a business from nothing to 761 stores and $30 billion in sales in a mere twenty years. Built from Scratch tells many colorful stories associated with The Home Depot’s founding and meteoric rise; shows that a company can be a tough, growth-oriented competitor and still maintain a high sense of responsibility to the community; and provides great lessons useful to people in any business, from start-ups to the Fortune 500.
