Description:"[a] lively, engaging and sympathetic portrait ..." - THE WALL STREET JOURNAL"Charles Stewart Mott was one of America's greatest industrialists and most generous philanthropists. ... This intimate biography explores Mott's extraordinary life with empathy and style." - David Farber, author of Sloan Rules: Alfred P. Sloan and the Triumph of General Motors"This engaging biography reveals Charles Stewart Mott's lifelong drive for innovation and excellence." - Nariman Farvardin, President, Stevens Institute of Technology"This terrific biography reveals the scope of Mr. Mott's deep commitment to the future and to the education and development of children during both health and illness." - Chris Dickinson, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Michigan Medicine, C.S. Mott Children's HospitalThe name Charles Stewart Mott is today most widely recognizable when used in connection with the word Foundation. Established by the General Motors mogul in 1926, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has made grants in excess of $3 billion over the past nine decades, both in Mott’s adopted hometown of Flint, Michigan, and around the world. But philanthropy is only one reason the life of Mott—entrepreneur, industrialist, banker, mayor, and sometimes even cowboy—is worth knowing about today.Mott was born ten years after the death of Abraham Lincoln and one year before the 1876 centennial of the founding of the United States. He died in 1973, two years before the founding of Microsoft. He not only lived through the most dramatic technological shift and period of economic growth that had yet been known, but he actively participated in and contributed to these events as a major innovator and leader at General Motors (with colleagues Alfred P. Sloan Jr, Charles Kettering, and Pierre du Pont), as a public official, and as a philanthropist who in many ways reinvented the nonprofit model.This vivid biography portrays a complex, brilliant, often contradictory, and ultimately fascinating man. His life—both as a record of himself and as a reflection of his times—makes for a good and important story that will be enjoyed by readers interested in Michigan history and politics, the automotive industry, and global philanthropy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
