Summary:
The BusinessMakers interview Barney Gershen, former CEO of Associated Building Services, one of the nation's largest maintenance companies. As a child during the 1950s, Gershen worked to build the family business. Over time, the job became a career. Gershen bought out his mother's ownership and began his personal battle to develop "the best company." When Gershen sold the company in 2004, it had 13,000 employees and operations in 30 states. This is a story of inspiration, determination and lessons learned along the way.
