Videos on Employee Ownership Companies

Eileen Fisher, the founder of the firm of the same name, discusses in a 4-minute Inc. magazine video (available on Inc's site and at NCEO's esopinfo.org) in which she talks about why she choose employee ownership. She remembers that a potential buyer said she wanted to buy Eileen Fisher because "we have a mandate to grow 10% a year, and we can't do that unless we buy companies." Fisher came to believe that outside buyers "were just interested in money and numbers, and what they could get out of it, [rather than] what they could give to it."
