What intrigues me most is how Sant's determination to make business both fun and socially responsible could be so powerful in taking a fragile entrepreneurial dream to the threshold of worldwide success. It's a compelling tale, extremly relevant in today's go-go, anything-for-the-shareholder economy. --Bob Waterman former AES director, coauthor of In Search of Excellence It would be difficult to overestimate the important contributions that this remarkeable pioneering organization has made to people and to knowledge across the globe. It is an engaging story and invaluable read for all those who find themselves lost in organizations that cannot seem to get moving in long-established markets and ways of thinking. AES helped turn its mature, set-in-its-ways, aging industry inside out. --John H. McArthur Dean Emeritus, Harvard Business School Unfolding like a novel, Peter Grose's outstanding book documents the rise, collapse, and turnaround of AES, the most successful startup in the early days of the deregulating and globalizing electric power business. With valuable commentary from Roger Sant, cofounder of AES and its first chairman and CEO, Grose helps us to appreciate the upside of a values-driven approach, but also the imperatives for management and the board to ensure that values enhance and don't undercut performance. --Les Silverman Director Emeritus of Electric Power and Natural Gas Practice, McKinsey & Company I love this story and this book.
