Description
The story of a powerful corporate executive who, after watching the world through the eyes of his autistic child, realized that we all have a greater responsibility to make the world a better place. Seeing that his faith and his work were not two separate things, Randy bet his career that he could create a workplace at one of America's biggest corporations where people with disabilities could not just succeed, but thrive. The result was two productivity leading distribution centres employing 35% people with disabilities and a world-wide influence now reaching Boots and Marks & Spencer here in the UK. 'The Pursuit of Happiness' meets 'The Miracle Worker.'
Advance Praise
Fascinating. This book should be required reading in every business school to teach future business leaders that hiring people with disabilities and making innovations in the workplace are both good business and the right thing to do. Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures and The Autistic Brain
Randy Lewis is a real trailblazer. He never forgot his community during his very successful business years. This book is a real eye-opener. He put his career on the line to demonstrate that serving the needs of the community also serves the needs of business. When you do both together, you really have achieved success. Bob Wright, cofounder of Autism Speaks, former vice chairman of General Electric Company, former chairman and CEO of NBC Universal
Unconditional love, unending patience, and total dedication to a good cause create miracles. What a better world we would have following Randy's example. C.R.Walgreen, Chairman emeritus, Walgreens Company
A powerful story! This book should be adopted as a must-read in all MBA programs in order to inspire leaders of consequence. Randy's story proves that leading with heart is the only way to lead. Thomas F Keller, Dean Emeritus of the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University
