- Starting Over In Warsaw

- <p> For retired U.S. executives who are looking for a second
- calling, opportunity is knocking in Poland. This week at the
- new Marriott Hotel in Warsaw, Commerce Secretary Robert
- Mosbacher plans to announce a program organized by U.S.
- executives to advise Polish managers on how to think like
- American entrepreneurs and help revive their ailing national
- economy.
- </p>
- <p> The impetus for the tutoring scheme came from Donald Davis,
- chairman of Stanley Works, the Connecticut-based toolmaker. In
- a visit to Poland in the early 1980s, says he, "I was
- overwhelmed by the lack of management know-how." Davis began
- organizing the program almost two years ago with the help of the
- International Executive Service Corps, which sends retired
- managers to help businesses in developing countries. Davis hopes
- to organize ten visiting-manager projects this year and as many
- as 50 in 1990.
