Customer Reviews

A pleasant if somewhat biased view of Defense Contractors

Augustine comes across as the type of person you would love to have as a dinner companion. He has wonderful stories and a very rich life experience to draw upon. The book is an easy ready and most people will get something from it. I was left wanting more depth in the deatils of the merger initiations. I also have enough experience with Lockheed Martin to know that Augustine views his company the same way that every parent believes their child is the star of their Little League team.

Outstanding Model of How a Leader Should Act

Norman Augustine is one of the most talented and thoughtful leaders in American business. This is a rare look at the personal philosophy that has allowed him to beat the odds, time and again. While head of Lockheed-Martin, Mr. Augustine pulled off the most successful series of acquisitions accomplished in recent memory. You will never find a better book on ethical standards in business. Mr. Augustine is a model we can all appreciate. Follow Mr. Augustine's advice, and you will be a great success, too. Be sure to read his other book, Augustine's Laws. It's full of important insights about how people really behave.
