Reviews
Pritchett, a former vice president of Procter & Gamble, offers a combination of autobiography and sage advice on "management, salesmanship, and building better relations among individuals." Having spent his entire 36-year career at Procter & Gamble, he provides numerous insights into the operation of that mammoth corporation. He retired in 1989 and since has given about one speech per week to business audiences. This book reads like a compilation of talks and ideas about managing corporations in the future. As might be expected, it is inspiring, folksy, and laced with numerous personal tidbits. Though offering nothing new or profound, it is entertaining and similiar in some ways to his good friend Sam Walton's Sam Walton: Made in America; My Story (LJ 8/92) and should appeal to the same readership. Recommended for larger business collections.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. In 1987, Lou Pritchett, the vice president of sales at Procter & Gamble, had a radical idea. He phoned Sam Walton and invited the visionary chairman of Wal-Mart on a two-day canoe trip. There on the South Fork River in Arkansas, Lou made Sam and offer no profit-minded person could refuse: the chance to forge a partnership between the two colossal firms. This now legendary trip marks the culmination of a lifetime devoted to building customer relationships. Sam wrote Lou, Thank you for what you have personally done to bring our two companies together and develop a relationship that I think will be outstanding and beneficial to both of us for a long time to come. You are a real friend. Seller Inventory # CIN0887307310VG
