WeWork founder Adam Neumann once said he wanted to be 'president of the world' and also the person that countries called to solve disputes, new book says
WeWork founder Adam Neumann had some outsized goals for himself and his company, as detailed in a new book.
In the company's early years, Neumann also thought about running to be Israel's prime minister one day, according toBut a few years later, that goal was no longer enough. Neumann later said that, if he were to seek any office, it would be for"president of the world," the book says. In another incident, he stressed that WeWork needed to be very successful so that"when countries started shooting at one another, he'd be the one they'd have to call to solve their problems, the book claims.
When he moved offices, Neumann had a new exit designed so he could avoid running into staff in the main lobby on his way to the elevators, according to the book, adding that Neumann nonetheless"often seemed earnestly interested in helping others, particularly small businesses and employees in need."He once tried to reschedule a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau less than a week out, the book says.
