Customer Reviews

interesting and informative

My dad worked at Tyson Foods with Don Tyson and loved him. Dad told us how loyal, intelligent, insightful,respectful and gracious he was and how he was always looking forward at new possibilities. I think this book shows all these qualities of a great leader.

Paul Whitley has done a masterful job merging complex strategic thinking with practical application to tell the amazing story of Tyson Foods. He quotes management experts like Alfred Sloan, Ken Blanchard, Kurt Lewin, and Margaret Wheatley and then allows you to see how their principles play out in the leadership of Don Tyson, Buddy Wray, Leland Tollett, and the entire team. There is much that a strategic leader can learn from carefully examining the Tyson miracle.
