About the Summary
Business leaders often take actions that prop up earnings in the short term but compromise their companies’ long-term health. Upon becoming Honeywell’s CEO in 2002, David M. Cote encountered an organization on the verge of failure. To turn the company around, he and his team adopted bold operational reforms and counterintuitive leadership practices that enabled them to pursue strong short- and long-term results. The outcome was phenomenal. Presenting a comprehensive solution to a perennial problem, Winning Now, Winning Later is a go-to guide for leaders everywhere who seek to leave an enduring legacy of success.
