Description
Frank Bennack is executive vice chairman and former CEO of Hearst, a leading global media,
information and services company with more than 20,000 employees and 360-plus businesses.
During Bennackâ€s tenure as CEO, he directed the company through an unprecedented period
of growth from when he began his first tenure as CEO in 1979 through June 2013 when he
stepped down increasing revenues 14 times and growing earnings more than 30 times. He is also
chairman of the companyâ€s Executive Committee, a director of Hearst, and a trustee of the
Hearst Family Trust. In addition, he sits on a number of corporate committees and the Hearst
Foundations Boards, where he has served for more than 25 years. Bennack is currently a director
of Ralph Lauren Corporation. He is chairman of Hearst Magazines UK, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Hearst. Bennack is also a governor and former chairman of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and
its Healthcare System, a managing director of the Metropolitan Opera of New York, chairman
emeritus of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and chairman of The Paley Center for Media
(formerly The Museum of Television & Radio). Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights

decades, so many of those stories are about business. But the point of telling these stories is not
to revisit old challenges, brag about long-ago successes, or explain how, on my watch, we
transformed a 1950s magazine and newspaper company into a hundred-year-old start-up.
Although Iâ€m in many of these stories—hey, itâ€s my book—theyâ€re really about the
people in my life, and what I learned from them, and what we accomplished together. In many of
these stories youâ€ll also meet two remarkable and accomplished women. Luella Mae Smith,
my high school girlfriend, became my wife for more than fifty years. She died tragically and without
warning on April 17, 2003. She is central to the period from 1949 to 2003. Dr. Mary Lake Polan, to
whom I was married on April 2, 2005, has supported me and enriched my life on many levels. She
has been an important force throughout my second tour as CEO of Hearst, as well as during my
Lincoln Center and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital chairmanships. Like Luella, she has made the
good times better and the difficult times bearable. If these stories offer some wisdom, itâ€s this:
the importance of values in our private lives and work lives—the value of values. You donâ€t
hear much about values in the business press these days. Mostly you hear about transactions.
Thatâ€s inevitable. The deals are bigger now. Thereâ€s more and louder publicity
accompanying them. The claimed benefits generally include a better world—often a better world
through technology. Some of the stories youâ€ll find in these pages describe transactions that

made headlines, but whatâ€s more important, I think, is how and why those
