Description: "Thousands are familiar with Biomet, one of the most successful orthopedic companies in the world today. Yet few have a clear idea about the man behind the orthopedic giant, Dr. Dane A. Miller. This book is more than simply an analysis of a prosperous business. It is a biographical portrait of a man who grew his company - not on typical business-school platitudes - but on the principles of compassion, hard work, and loyalty. The story is told from Dane's own perspective and is salted with anecdotes supplied by co-workers, family, and friends. The Maverick CEO reveals the steadfast character of the man who never gave up on his dream, even in times of great turmoil"--Amazon.com.
