ROBERT LANE PLOWS NEW GROUND

摘要

"Our products," boasts Deere & Co. Chairman and CEO Robert W. Lane, "continue to stand alone in productivity, innovation and value." Lane, only the eighth chief executive in the company's 168-year history, is clearly committed to maintaining that tradition of excellence. But since becoming CEO in millennium year 2000, Lane, IW's CEO of the Year for 2005, has been equally committed to growing Moline, Ill.-based Deere into a business that is as great as he believes its products to be. In short, he's committed to running smarter, faster and leaner.
