Augustine's Travels: A World-Class Leader Looks at Life, Business, and What It Takes to Succeed at Both
Augustine's Travels, by Lockheed Martin Corporation chairman Norman Augustine, offers a well-articulated discussion of the various business and life issues that concern this real-life rocket scientist. Among them: why it pays to put ethics above the bottom line; which traits are present in true leaders; what is actually required to stay competitive today; and how mergers and acquisitions really impact corporations. Interspersed among his observations are a series of perceptive comments about life in Cuba, Russia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and India formed during a whirlwind 1995 tour that Augustine undertook with a group of top CEOs.
