Want to win in business? Watch how Porsche wins races. The same teamwork that designed, built, and maintained championship Porsche race cars made it possible for Peter Schutz to turn an ailing company around and return it to prosperity and success, At race circuits he notes, the pit team "pays little attention to rank or position - I sometimes found myself being ordered to go fetch a tool or spare tire if I happened to be on hand. The team simply works together to get the job done as well as humanly possible, each person contributing tot he best of his or her abilities. Imagine what might be accomplished if a company could run that way." "The Driving Force is my story. It is a story about a rather ordinary person who was able to accomplish some extraordinary things as a business leader." Born in Germany, Peter Schutz graduated from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, started his career at Caterpillar, and became VP of sales and service at Cummins Engine Company. Later, during his service as CEO of Porsche, the company's sales volume doubled and its profits increased over tenfold. Now operating his own company, Harris & Schutz Inc., he is a leadership mentor who speaks on management and marketing to business audiences worldwide. Peter W. Schutz is a recipient of the Henry Townley Heald Award, presented to people whose positive ethics have impacted an entire industry. Other recipients include Jonas Salk, Buckminster Fuller, Mies van der Rohe, Jim Hewlett, Edward Teller, and Ted Turner.
