Dove, Lipton, Knorr, Ben & Jerry's, and Slim*Fast are a few of the brands that are part of the $66 billion global empire known as Unilever. When the story opens, one of its divisions is in deep trouble-- declining volume, eroding margins, critical quality problems-- and is close to being sold off. Then Tex Gunning, its visionary new division chairman, takes the stage, an expanding circle of young leaders takes charge, and once-skeptical workers embrace a challenging message of growth. The result? The division grows by double digits, year in and year out, and energizes Unilever's path to thrive around the globe.

To the Desert and Back tells the inside story of the transformation in the words of the people in all quarters of the company who made it happen. It documents five years of personal soul-searching, teamwork, companywide learning conferences, memorable journeys to the mountains and desert, and inspired promotions that show how these efforts produced a remarkable top-to-bottom turnaround. This story delivers authentic and convincing proof that a revitalized business is about personal growth.

The lessons learned from this dramatic business turnaround provide unexpected insights and encouraging inspiration for other companies and leaders ready to embark on their own remarkable journey of transformation, growth, and success.

Interactive dog toy
Perfect dog toy. My dog loves all the different ropes. The combination ropes and the plush toy keep my dog entertained for long periods of time. This makes it perfect for interactive, play alone and play together. There are various surfaces for a dog to chew on this toy with different textures. My dog is more of a power chewer and can easily destroy this toy. Therefore, the chewability is fairly easy. This makes it great for more supervised to play, not the way I can leave out. The toy makes different sounds which my dog loves. The size is perfect for my 65 lb dog. She can easily wrap house with it and carry it around the house. Overall functional, fun, interactive dog toy.
