Larry Culp wants a new finance chief, and he intends to play a bigger-than-customary role in the selection process…” as we read in today’s @WSJ piece by Nina_Trentman
Surprise? Hardly.
Culp again demonstrates the Lean leadership acumen, his attention to the important stuff, that helped him build Danaher Corp (DHR) into the powerhouse it is today.
If talent truly is as central to a company’s success as pundits and gurus avow, then it makes perfect sense it would be Culp’s top priority and that he’d be there in the trenches making this happen. Especially when headhunting your new CFO. Fortune500 leaders, mid-market, private equity and other CEOs take note.
