Exploring the insights of a professor, entrepreneur, and former CEO on leading with kindness and math, navigating tough decisions in leadership, and the significance of goodwill in business and investing.
James Rhee is the former CEO of Ashley Stewart, a professor, entrepreneur, and the author of “red helicopter―a parable for our times: lead change with kindness (plus a little math).” Mary Long caught up with Rhee for a conversation about:
- An unlikely turnaround at a retailer serving plus sized, moderate income black women.
- Being kind versus being nice.
- When liabilities can become assets and vice versa.
- Real world goodwill versus the accounting version.
