******************************** For The Pew's Rebecca Rimel, the Bottom Line Is Impact, Not Profits http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=1418 When Rebecca Rimel, president and CEO of the Philadelphia-based Pew Charitable Trusts, describes the challenges she faces running a $4.6 billion organization, she uses the same words one hears from leaders in the for-profit world: "highly strategic," "politically aware," "leveraged" and "accountable." But her bottom line is impact, not profits. "We are highly driven to make a difference in the key issues that matter to the health and happiness of our stakeholders -- the public," she said during a recent leadership talk at Wharton. Running an effective organization, Rimel told her audience, requires hard-nosed decisions about which projects to fund, which people to hire, and what battles to walk away from.
