Is it possible to build a great company and also build a great life?
Coleman Mockler, CEO most responsible for of Gillette's transition from good to great,
had a great
life. Coleman's life revolved around three great loves: his family, Harvard, and Gillette. Even during
the darkest and most intense times of takeover crisis, Mockler maintained remarkable balance in
his life. He did not significantly reduce the amount of time he spent with his family, rarely working
evenings or weekends. He was so good at assembling the right people around him, and putting the
right people in the right slots, that he just didn't need to be there all hours of the day and night.
The was Coleman's whole secret to success and balance.
