唐納德?E?沃什科維茨 ????公司:派克漢尼汾 ????《財富》500強排名:211 ????沃什科維茨于1972年開始為派克漢尼汾工作。他的工作是在一家汽車修理廠為卡車更換出故障的軟管。當時美國正處在經濟衰退當中,因此,能在自己家鄉(xiāng)的傳動控制公司找到一份工作讓剛剛工程學畢業(yè)的沃什科維茨非常高興。他很快就獲得了晉升:一年內,沃什科維茨便得到提拔,開發(fā)一系列熱塑性產品,因為沒有其他人想要那份工作。之后,他曾負責事業(yè)部,然后管理公司的全球液壓部門。 ????他對派克漢尼汾的每一份工作都充滿熱愛——其中包括他從2000年起接任的公司最高職位。沃什科維茨認為,他對公司業(yè)務與文化的嚴密控制對公司很有好處——他表示,自己曾多次見過“從外部聘用的人徹底毀滅了一家公司或一系列產品?!倍疫@對于員工士氣同樣很有幫助:“我們的員工看到,任何人都有機會登上頂峰。我為所有人樹立了一個榜樣。” |
Donald E. Washkewicz ????Company: Parker-Hannifin ????Fortune 500 rank: 211 ????Washkewicz started at Parker Hannifin back in 1972 in the grease pit, changing defective hoses on trucks. It was the middle of a recession, and the recent engineering graduate, a Cleveland boy, was happy just to have the job with the motion controls company in his hometown. He moved up quickly: One year in, Washkewicz was tapped to develop a line of thermoplastic products because no one else wanted the job. He went on to head the business division, then to manage the company's hydraulics group worldwide. ????He's never had a job at Parker he didn't like—including the top spot, which he took over in 2000. Washkewicz says his firm grip on Parker's business and culture have been good for the company—too many times, he says he has seen "outside hires come in and ruin a company or a product line." And it's good for morale: "Our employees see anyone can get to the top. It sets an example for everyone." |
