Well before he officially assumed the CEO title, Lauder was the “man behind the scenes,” shunning publicity and acknowledgment to perpetuate his mother’s image. While his mother, Estee Lauder, tended to external relations, Leonard built an efficient and productive operation – one that produced stellar financial results while successfully launching a series of new products. His attention to detail, focus on quality, and personal service have become standards for the company and its employees.
