"Jim Kilts transformed Gillette. Before his arrival, the company
was a study in self-deception. Great brands were being mishandled,
operational and financial discipline was non-existent and fanciful
promises to investors were standard practice. In record time, Jim
excised these business pathogens. I've learned much from Jim. So,
too, will readers of this book."
--Warren E. Buffett
"Doing What Matters is an insightful and practical approach to
business by a transformative leader with a great track record of
