Overview
-Peter F. Drucker
"A wonderful book about a wonderful man. In many ways, Marvin'sMcKinsey framed the hypotheses in our own search for excellence-forexample, passion for values, belief in people as the primeresource, and willingness to let people experiment. As well as Ithought I knew Marvin, however, this remarkable book, drawing onthe collective memories of those who worked most closely with him,taught me a ton about how extraordinary the man really was and whatmade him that way. Many have called Drucker the man who inventedmanagement; I think history will conclude that both he and MarvinBower share that pedestal."
-Bob Waterman, coauthor of In Search of Excellence
"Marvin Bower became a legend, not just within McKinsey &Company, but within professional services and the business worldmore broadly. In everything he did and said, he embodied theprofessional approach and the importance of values. This book shedsremarkable insight on a remarkable man and on the power ofconstancy of purpose."
-Ian Davis, Worldwide Managing Director, McKinsey & Co.
