Today, CAT is the world’s most profitable manufacturer of construction and mining equipment and large engines. The now legendary global company made numerous well-calculated , though risky decisions for three consecutive decades in the process scaling to heights unimaginable to even the finest business enterprises.” – From the Book jacket How did they do it? The Caterpillar Way Craig Bouchard, author of the book The Caterpillar Way: Lessons in Leadership, Growth, and Shareholder Value, discusses how CAT got it right in this Business901 podcast. Craig is an entrepreneur, writer, art collector, great father and pretty good husband.
