Synopsis

"Eitel Time" is a summary of my personal philosophy that has guided me through 25 years of business as the president of five different companies. In "Eitel Time," I tried to explore the question of why we do what we do with our lives. It was sort of an attempt to get people to look in the mirror and ask themselves if they are living a life of true happiness.

About this title

About the Author:

Charlie Eitel owns his own consulting business, focused on turnaround management, business simplification and leadership development. Until August 1999, he served as president and chief operating officer of Interface Inc., where he was responsible for the corporation's worldwide operations, which include the manufacture and sale of floorcoverings, interior fabrics and architectural raised floors. During his six year tenure, Interface's sales grew from $635 million to $1.3 billion. In 1997, the company was named by Fortune magazine as one of the "Top 100 Companies To Work For in America" and in 1998, was selected by Fortune as one of "America's Most Admired Companies." Prior to joining Interfaced, Charlie was president and chief executive officer of Collins & Aikman Floorcoverings, a position he assumed in 1987 when the company was in serious financial trouble as the result of management irregularities. By 1989, Collins & Aikman Floorcoverings resumed profitability and prior to Charlie's departure in 1993, became the top-performing business unit within the C&A corporation. Charlie began his career in 1971 as a sales trainee for Coronet Carpets (a division of RCA). He held several sales and management positions before being appointed president in 1980. In 1981, he resigned that position to become president and chief operating officer of Carriage Industries. Under his leadership from 1981 - 1986, Carriage's sales grew from $6 million to $75 million. INC. magazine named the company one of "America's Fastest Growing Businesses."

Charlie Eitel has captured on paper some of the real keys to happiness and success. He relates success to being accountable, helping others and choosing to walk in a manner where others receive credit. A great book with some good ideas about life.END -- Tom Coburn, M.D., Member of Congress

Once in a while, you meet a leader who not only leads well, but understands the process so completely that others can learn to lead by following the example. Charlie Eitel is one of these special leaders who has done it over and over. Through his success, he has documented it so that others can become the kind of leaders that the world is crying for today. If you have one hour of "idle" time, you should spend it reading Charlie's book. It will be one of the most important sixty minutes you spend this year. It will stick with you. You might forget where you read it or where you heard it, but it can become yours, both in action and principle. Enjoy and grow! -- Larry Wilson, Vice Chairman, Pecos River Learning Centers, Inc.
