4,0 von 5 Sternen Business Side of the Olympics
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 16. Februar 2014
Verifizierter Kauf
When one thinks about it, the amount of organization an Olympics games requires is mind-boggling. There is construction or procurement of venues for the events themselves, housing for athletes, providing food and entertainment, transportation, broadcasting, etc. And everything must work seamlessly crammed into a period of around seventeen days.

In late 1998, the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, the organization responsible for organizing the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, was rocked by a scandal. It was revealed that the SLOC had improperly given bribes to certain members of the International Olympic Committee as a way to help win Salt Lake City's bid to host the 2002 games. The resulting scandal forced the resignation of SLOC's CEO and Mitt Romney was installed in his place in early 1999.

The book primarily recounts Romney's experience during his three years as head of the organizing committee. His main goals were to re-establish credibility with the public following the scandal and making sure the games were secure financially. Romney notes how difficult it could be to make sure they had enough money to do everything they wanted. Not only did they have to carefully look over the budget to find savings and make sacrifices on luxury items, but they also sought ways to find new revenues and new sponsors.

Most of the book is from Romney's perspective and what an executive does as head of an Olympics. He talks a lot about dealing with corporate sponsors and governments both for money and for organizational assistance. For example, security was always a big deal at the Olympics (especially since games in 1972 and 1996 saw terrorist attacks), but this became even more important following 9/11. Not only were law enforcement officials of Utah heavily involved, but police officers from other states and the federal government were required to make sure the games were secure.

I found this book to be an interesting look at the business side of how an Olympics is pulled off. There is very little on the athletes themselves in this book and their triumphs, but is instead focused totally on the business side. I would recommend this book to those interested in such a story.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Real leadership
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 20. Januar 2013
Verifizierter Kauf
The story of how Romney took over the Olympics and made it a success is detailed in this book. Names were named and situations were described. It was almost a 'how to' book that could be used by someone who wanted to run an Olympic Games. I thought Romney was too generous when he glossed over the 'Old Boy' management of the world committee, or the initial organizing people who were not effective or were dishonest. This was not a tell-all condemnation of what happened before he took over - simply a tell-all of how he managed to make the SLC Games successful.

3,0 von 5 Sternen What a surprise
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 8. Februar 2008
Verifizierter Kauf
When I started reading this book, I thought that I had made a big mistake in buying it. After reading about half of it, I decided that I was learning much about the man in reading about how he accomplished things and why he was successful. There are probably better books to tell about Mitt Romney, but this one will do if you have the time to wade through much detail (simply scan part of it)and like to read about methods of achieving success.

5,0 von 5 Sternen True tale of an American success story
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 24. Januar 2012
Verifizierter Kauf
Mitt Romney cleaned up a scandal-plagued Winter Olympics and made America shine before the world. His executive abilities turned around a movement that was on the road to failure. This is his story about how he did it. It should be required reading for every student and every voter in this country.

I enjoyed reading this book because it was well-written and interesting. I recommend it to everyone.
