[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 576964, member: 13921"] A CEO has to have the vision for the direction of the company. Mike Eskew drove the company global. He made decisions that never would have flown because they were expensive, yet now they are huge profit centers (as I understand it, he was the driving force behind our China and Europe investment and growth.) The CEO has to see the big picture and chart the direction of the company that makes the most profit for that direction. UPS does much, much more than deliver packages. It would not surprise me a bit to find out that UPS has a future that does not include delivering packages. I would also bet that if/when UPS sheds the small parcel division, that they are still very profitable. I do not read enough 'insider' magazines to know what the professional opinions are of UPS CEOs. I have read that UPS managers are sought out by other companies, as they typically have a broader range of talent then other industry managers. I am sure that there are business mags that have written about UPS' CEOs, both their strengths and weaknesses. I would search either the Wall Street Journal archives or Transportation Age.
