Posted: 06/21/2009 01:00:00 AM MDTMeg WhitmanNEW YORK — Former eBay chief executive Meg Whitman, a presumed candidate for governor of California, is working on a book about the "core values" that helped her build the online commerce giant.
The book, currently untitled, is scheduled to be published by Crown Business in February, just as California starts voting for its next governor.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but Whitman will donate all of her earnings to charity.
"Whitman will interweave personal stories and leadership lessons culled from her tenure at eBay and other companies," according to a statement issued late last month by Crown, an imprint of Random House Inc.
Whitman, 52, joined eBay in 1998, when the company had just 30 employees.
By the time she stepped down last year, eBay was a multibillion-dollar company with more than 15,000 workers. Hillel Italie, The Associated Press
