A LifeiUniverse, 2005 - 176 pagine While Morris Clegg's book purports to be an autobiography, it is in effect a remarkable chronicle of achievement and success--a 'how to' manual on how to succeed in life, whether at sea or in business, written from personal experience by a man who was not afraid to take risks, and who, apart from establishing a 'laundry' empire as a successful industrialist, became sought after by banks, financial institutions and investment panels to advise on new businesses. Reflecting on his experiences in factory planning, company acquisitions and management, Morris inadvertently offers a wealth of commonsense advice on many aspects of business and personnel management. For anyone interested in the realization of personal and business goals, with the necessary ingredients of resilience, commitment and perseverance, this book is a 'must read'! |
