Description
Not only his favorite catch-phrase, "Sempre Avanti" or Always Forward, is a definitive description of one man's personal philosophy that has propelled him into key leadership positions in both the worlds of commerce and philanthropy.
In this revealing and amusing retrospective, Richard Hirsch shares the high and low points of his exemplary and exceptional life's journey. Emerging from a Jewish immigrant family that founded the nation's largest manufacturer of kitchen stoves, Richard was immersed in the principles of "Tzedakah" and "Tikun Olam." You will read how he learned, at an early age, about the true "Responsibility of Privilege."
Becoming the youngest C.E.O. of a Fortune 500 company at age 29, Richard soon realized that the firm was floundering. Through struggle and stamina, he fielded a team that eventually succeeded in not only turning the company's fortunes around, but building it into a powerhouse force in the commercial kitchen equipment industry.
In this passionate memoir, you will discover how Richard not only continued his family's legacy of philanthropic support for crucial causes, but how, through tenacity and determination, he advanced those causes to new heights of achievement.
Business captain. Philanthropist. Family man. Richard Hirsch's life journey can well serve as a blueprint for the aspiring young business leader and social activist. In this book, he not only provides us with an engaging backward look, but also shares his vision for the future as he urges us all to always keep moving forward. Sempre Avanti!
