Product Description
Product Description
In this engaging book, award-winning business writer Rod McQueen examines how the pugnacious personality and hard-driving leadership style of Dominic D'Alessandro led Manulife Financial to its position as one of the largest and most profitable life insurance companies in North America, and the fourth largest in the world. From D'Alessandro's role in the successful demutualization and conversion of the company to public company status in 1999, which set the stage for Manulife to become a world leader, to D'Alessandro's successful completion of Canada's largest cross-border merger, Manulife captures the story of 15 years of outstanding business leadership.

manulife:how dominic d'alessandro built a global giant and fought to save it,
By
This review is from: Manulife: How Dominic D'Alessandro Built a Global Giant and Fought to Save It (Hardcover)
As a longtime client of manulife I always wanted to know how it went from a mutual life insurance company to a stock exchange traded company. This book does a pretty good job of doing this. It also explains how manulife bought additional companies to make it the company it is today. It does this in an easy, understandable way.
