We increasingly interact with the world through the binary, on/off medium of buttons—from keyboards and appliances, to the digital interfaces of phones and tablets; but it didn’t have to be this way. “There is nothing natural or inevitable about buttons or the act of pushing a button. Various constituencies over the years—especially advertisers and manufacturers—have marshalled tremendous resources to make buttons popular and alluring,” Rachel Plotnick, author of Power Button: A History of Pleasure, Panic, and the Politics of Pushing.

Media Objects 03: Buttons

Text written with a typewriter is not the same as text written by hand, composed on a computer, sent in a text message, or generated by artificial intelligence. Like all media, the typewriter does not just transmit what a person wants to write. It is its own particular medium. In the 20th century, it changed the way writers write and the way people read—profoundly altering warfare, commerce, literature, and, perhaps most dramatically, gender relations.

Vic Verchereau welcomes Mark Whitacre, who is Vice President, Culture & Care at Coca-Cola Consolidated.

Mark Whitacre is an Ivy League Ph.D. and the highest-ranked executive of any Fortune 500 company to become a whistleblower in US history, and is responsible for uncovering the ADM price-fixing scandal in the early 1990's. Mark Whitacre wore a wire for the FBI every day for three years.  His wife, Ginger, forced him to turn himself into the FBI, which then started the ADM price-fixing case.

Mark Whitacre currently serves as Vice President, Culture and Care at Coca-Cola Consolidated.  Mark offers one-of-a-kind insight into corporate ethics, corporate greed, and the warning signs of a flawed corporate leadership to audiences across America and vital leadership to the Coca-Cola Consolidated team.

After completing B.S. and M.S. degrees at Ohio State University, Mark then earned his PhD. degree at Cornell University in Biochemistry.  Mark then worked for multiple Fortune 500 companies including Ralston Purina, Degussa (Evonik), and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM).  Mark was hired at ADM, a $70 billion company, when he was 32, and as the President of the BioProducts Division from it's launch, was the youngest Divisional President in the history of the company.  In just six years, their fermentation complex became one of the largest in the world.  At age 35, he became a Corporate Vice President of ADM and was the leading candidate to become the next company president.

A compassionate leader with a faith and commitment for helping others. Mark's passion is a driving force in his role with Coca -Cola Consolidated as the Vice President, Culture and Care.  He's one of Vic's favorite guests and you will see why when you listen to this edition of the Leadership Lowdown!
