Product Description
by Timothy Fort (Author)
Old National Bank was the first American financial institution to have been recognized as a "World Most Ethical Company" by The Ethisphere Institute. It has since continued to win this recognition. Why? This book provides the good news that, even a business with nearly $20 billion in assets can be financially successful and highly ethical. Old National Bank is a story we can all learn from, whether in business or not, as to how to prioritize values and to be successful as a result. This book is the second of a new book series, "Your Team is #1" that looks at the positive attributes of organizations, why they are successful, and what we can learn from them.
