McKinsey's Marvin Bower by Elizabeth Haas Edersheim
This book is the story of Marvin Bower, the man who helped found McKinsey & Co. in 1939 and served as managing director of the firm from 1950 to 1967. This fascinating account details how Bower, an attorney, took a concept known as industrial engineering and changed it into management consulting.
“As well as being an excellent biography, it is the best handbook on leadership that has been published for many years” (Professional Manager, Vol.13, No.6, November 2004)
“Read this book if you really want to understand what makes McKinseyites tick.” (Business Voice- The CBI Magazine, September 2004)
