The Good Fight

By Dennis Eagleson

No matter the size or type of business, one does not become an industry leader by luck. The Baker Company is no exception.

From its Sanford, Maine, roots as a small family business in 1949, The Baker Company's focus was the emerging field of contamination. The company's founder, Arthur Baker, was an engineer; in 1957 he hired Jack Eagleson as a management consultant and to oversee operations. Nine years later, Jack bought the business-a year after his son Dennis, the author of this book, joined the firm.

With a commitment to integrity, unwavering ethics, and hard work, Jack built an exceptional team while expanding the product line and growing the company into an international organization. This story provides a window into how it happened-from equipment, technology, and learning from customers, to developing a reliable brand promise and a strong management group, and creating a multifaceted customer base. Part memoir, part window into the field, and part instruction manual for career success (no matter the field), each chapter offers a winnable philosophy for today's business world.

The Baker Company is now operated by the third generation of Eaglesons, who carry out Jack's legacy by continuing to Fight The Good Fight.
