Acknowledgments

From the initial concept to publication, a great many people influenced and contributed to this book in a positive way.

First, I want to thank the thought leaders and executives who graciously shared their thoughts and ideas with me: Peggy Barr, John C. Bogle, William Bowen, Herman Cain, James Citrin, Donald P. Delves, Andrea Jung, Frank LaFasto, Pamela Forbes Lieberman, Robert Kelley, Greg Maddux, Nell Minow, Gerry Niewoehner, Thomas O. Ryder, and Edmund J. Wilson.
