In many ways, Marvin''s McKinsey framed the hypotheses in our own search for excellence-for example, passion for values, belief in people as the prime resource, and willingness to let people experiment. As well as I thought I knew Marvin, however, this remarkable book, drawing on the collective memories of those who worked most closely with him, taught me a ton about how extraordinary the man really was and what made him that way. Many have called Drucker the man who invented management; I think history will conclude that both he and Marvin Bower share that pedestal.\u003cbr\u003e -Bob Waterman, coauthor of In Search of Excellence\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Marvin Bower became a legend, not just within McKinsey \u0026amp; Company, but within professional services and the business world more\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“As well as being an excellent biography, it is the best handbook on leadership that has been published for many years.” (\u003ci\u003eProfessional Manager\u003c\/i\u003e, Vol.13, No.6, November 2004)  \u003cp\u003e“Read this book if you really want to understand what makes McKinseyites tick.” (\u003ci\u003eBusiness Voice- The CBI Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, September 2004)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFOREWORD.  \u003cp\u003eACKNOWLEDGMENTS.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART I: Translating a Vision into Reality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 1: Marvin Bower.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 2: The Vision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 3: The Profession and the Institution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 4: Defining Moments of Leadership and Influence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART II: A Leader’s Leader.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 5: The Bower Reach.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 6: Inspiring Organizational Courage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 7: Educating a Generation of Leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAUTHOR’S NOTE.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAPPENDIX A: Timeline.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAPPENDIX B: Brief Biography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAPPENDIX C: McKinsey \u0026amp; Co.
