The Power of Many: Values for Success in Business and in Life

(Crown Publishers) Former president and CEO of eBay Meg Whitman identifies 10 core values that steered her to success in business and life. She argues that trust, authenticity, courage, and validation are tools as essential for success as traditional business practices like accountability and efficiency.   Sharing stories from her career and her upbringing, Whitman also discusses how she balanced work and family.   Her accounts of her experiences at numerous high-profile companies offer case studies of what can go right and wrong in business, and how mistakes can actually be transformed into opportunities. CEO of eBay from 1998 to 2008, Whitman in 2009 announced her candidacy for governor of California. Hamilton, a former Silicon Valley bureau chief for BusinessWeek , now works with executives and political leaders as a book collaborator.
