One Tough Mother: Success in Life, Business and AP di Ms. Gert Boyle
Felt more of a synopsis of a book instead of a book. For example she mentions being held up but no details of what happened. How she became the president of the company was interesting but details seemed glossed over
So, I'll admit it. This was not a highly intellectual book, but I enjoyed it very much nonetheless! This is the story of how Gert Boyle was forced to change from housewife to CEO of Columbia Sportswear after the early and unexpected death of her husband. It is funny, loving and filled with the weird humor that is Portland, OR. The business is thriving and Gert is a hoot! There are lots of pictures of Columbia Sportswear's ad campaign, which depicts Gert as "One Tough Mother." It didn't hurt that all proceeds go to CASA, an organization for abused children, and Special Olympics.… (altro)
Very enjoyable but not very deep autobiography from Columbia Sportswear's Gert Boyle. She's had quite an interesting life, and has faced all sorts of adversity with grace and grit. It's a quick read but well worth picking up.
