Our Three All-Time FAVORITE Publications
If you have never read any Gillett publications, and you want to see what you might find in them, you can start with the following. They are our favorites because they break new ground in the thinking about business leadership and strategy (and others have said that these writings have inspired them):
1) “Bringing a Company Back to Work: The Role of the CEO“– a 1998 article published by At Work Journal, in which Gillett introduces the concept of Spiritual Capital (to complement International Capital), while telling the short version of what the CEO, and his management team, did to turnaround AT&T Canada, for which he was honored as a Finalist for Canadian CEO of the Year.
2) “An Uncommon Turnaround” – the first chapter of the 2008 book Noble Enterprise, telling the story of meeting the CEO (Bill Catucci) of AT&T Canada the day he retired and how he introduced Gillett to the story of AT&T Canada’s turnaround. The book introduces the Noble Enterprise business model for creating superior business performance.
3) “The Invisible Heart” – a 2013 article in DOM management magazine, mentioned above, in which Gillett introduces the idea that it is no longer just great minds, but rather now great hearts that are making companies successful, with inspiring examples of companies that are doing great – and the leaders of Heart who are powering them.
