From one CEO to another

This CEO-to-CEO forum is the first of a series that will run across Michigan through 2009. The two brains, CEO Bill Emerson of Quicken Loans and Michigan's First Gentlemen Dan Mulhern, will discuss philosophies on becoming a great company with a great corporate culture. Oh, and by the way, it's free.

Excerpt:

What does it take to -- not just succeed -- but to be named one of the best places to work in the United States?  Quicken Loans knows. Ranked second on Fortune magazine's 2008 list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For," Quicken Loans has placed on the list's top 20 five years in a row. The company was also named as the top place to work for technology employees in the U.S. by Computerworld Magazine in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

According to CEO Bill Emerson the awards are no accident.  Visit the company's career Web page and you'll read the following: At Quicken Loans, there's no daunting hierarchy, "boss" is a four-letter word, and if you work hard you're the one who will reap the rewards - both personally and professionally. More than any other place you'll work, we are dedicated to honing your skills, helping you grow and making sure you have plenty of fun doing it. …when you're not bogged down by corporate constraints, you have the freedom to do great things for our clients as well as ourselves.

Quicken Loans is one of Michigan's Great Companies and a fantastic place to work. Learn how to make your corporate culture great by joining CEO Bill Emerson and Michigan First Gentleman Dan Mulhern at the October 9, 2008 CEO-to-CEO Forum.
