TEDxUNPLAZA co-curator and executive producer Kunal Sood invited Kramer so the audience could experience the passion and expertise Sood saw in Kraemer’s classroom. Sood is a student in the Kellogg Executive MBA Program.
Kraemer, also an executive partner at private equity firm Madison Dearborn, gave four leadership principles he developed while chairman and CEO of the $9 billion global healthcare company Baxter International Inc.:
- Self-reflection: “I think we can start to separate noise from what really, really matters.”
- Balance: “Seek to understand before you’re understood.”
- True self-confidence: “You surround yourself with people that are much better than you on the things you’re not that good at.”
- Genuine humility: “Remember the cube. Most of us, when we started in a cube, whenever that was, we knew how we wanted to be treated.”

We move a whole lot of business books around the world from our humble offices here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Each and every month, we compile our sales numbers and release a bestseller list to recognize the books that are heading out to business people, business schools, and entrepreneurs to help spread ideas, solve problems, promote change, and inspire leadership in the business community. We’ve now compiled those numbers for the entire year, giving weight to both total sales numbers and how long each book stayed on the list (and at what number) and are happy to announce the bestsellers of 2012.
