Alcoa, U.S. Steel co-sponsor Le Herron at Duquesne Ethics Forum

Author Le Herron

Le Herron, the man behind the 2006 leadership book Making Your Company Human: Inspiring Others to Reach Their Potential, speaks to CEOs and HR managers at a May 23 Ethics Luncheon Forum sponsored by Duquesne University. Herron, the former CEO of what is now the Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, will address the group of Pittsburgh-area executives on the importance of putting workers first.

Encouraging more bosses to believe that "Employees Must Come First"
In announcing the forum, Duquesne said, "Le Herron contends that a business leader's most important task is making it possible for workers to do their best. Herron's management career was spent at companies that faced significant workplace challenges, and he learned through experience that good leaders are those who create organizations where people are inspired by and enjoy their work. Particularly in today's business climate, where news of excess and abuse by CEOs drives a wedge between management and workers, Herron believes the organizational and personal rewards of putting employees first can be tremendous."

Registration for the Ethics Luncheon Forum, to be held at the Duquesne Club in downtown Pittsburgh, is $90 per person or $750 for a table of eight. Each attendee will receive a copy of Making Your Company Human.
