About
It Was a Time When Values Had Meaning, with Lessons We Can Learn from Kindred Spirits "David Callahan has written a compelling and timely history of a special cast of characters from business past. Their stories are a valuable reminder that success and sound personal values don't have to be mutually exclusive in the world of business." -Mitchell Pacelle, author of Empire "If you're interested in the personal stories of what makes great managers and how they got that way, this book, so readable, so fascinating, is for you." -Jack Valenti, Chairman and CEO, Motion Picture Association "We didn't care about money in the same way." -Marvin Traub, former Chairman and CEO, Bloomingdale's "After the war, we all believed that good can prevail. We went to school with a set of values forged by the war, and life has reaffirmed those values." -James Burke, former Chairman and CEO, Johnson & Johnson "Many of the great new industries are not developed by the big companies. Rather, they come from unexpected places and from people who don't know any better than that they can't succeed." -Peter McColough, former Chairman and CEO, Xerox
