About this episode

James Rhee is the former CEO of Ashley Stewart, a professor, entrepreneur, and the author of “red helicopter―a parable for our times: lead change with kindness (plus a little math).” Mary Long caught up with Rhee for a conversation about:


- An unlikely turnaround at a retailer serving plus sized, moderate income black women.

- Being kind versus being nice.

- When liabilities can become assets and vice versa.

- Real world goodwill versus the accounting version.
