Dr. Tomislav Mihaljevic recognizes the incredible responsibility that comes with being a cardiothoracic surgeon. It's a profession in which his patients quite literally put their lives in his hands.

Morton Mandel, who passed away in 2019 at 98 years old, was one of his great mentors. He says he learned from Mandel that it's all about "the who." Mandel was mentoring Heller around the time Alan Scott and T. Richard Bailey, who joined the company soon after the Glenville project was done, retired, leaving Heller and a group of senior leaders to continue the mission.
"And that's when I was able to take my learning, the mentoring, these great leaders that I have followed, that I was able to put a lot of this into motion," Heller says.

Enter Turner's assistant's office and you'll see more than 100 magazine covers featuring Turner from over the years adorning the walls. And from there, enter Turner's own office - dim, as the lights are off to conserve energy - and you can't help but notice the wall full of honorary degrees behind his desk and further evidence of his achievements and interests.
It's all a legacy of a life of entrepreneurship and innovation by the man who pioneered 24-hour news by founding CNN and has been involved in many different business ventures over the years, including starting the Ted's Montana Grill restaurant chain. Beyond his business achievements, he's won 180 sailing trophies and is one the largest individual landowners in the United States with approximately 2 million acres of personal and ranch land. He's also passionate about furthering clean-energy initiatives, and he gave a $1 billion gift to the United Nations through the United Nations Foundation, which he created to support goals and objectives of the U.N.
Turner's accomplishments could take up pages, but constrained by word counts, simply put: Ted Turner is a legend most business owners would do just about anything to sit down and talk to, but when it comes down to it, he can summarize his success in just a few main keys.
"One common thread is hard work, and another is careful consideration and thinking through what it was that I wanted to do and going through the mental exercises of what could go wrong and being prepared for that as much as possible," Turner says. "You can't predict completely what's going to happen, but you can have a plan and think it through as carefully as you can, and then once you make the decision, after very careful thought - or this is the way I did it - when I did decide to move forward, then move forward with great speed."
