Succession Stories - A podcast by Laurie Barkman
Categories:
Laurie Barkman speaks with Will Knecht, Chairman of Wendell August, America's oldest and largest forge, producing hand-wrought metal giftware since 1923. In March 2010, two days after receiving its largest order ever, a fire nearly destroyed their company. Will shares his leadership lessons for resilience and transformation in the face of disaster. It's a great Made in America comeback story with a special assist from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
