Randy Lewis does a phenomenal job in his book "No Greatness Without Goodness" of blending his personal story about his autistic son with lessons about management. This should be no surprise, since we learn from the book the two are intertwined. Lewis, a retired Walgreens executive, relates how his concern for his son’s future motivated him to create a corporate culture that embraces hiring individuals with disabilities. Lewis provides lessons gained from experience about management, leadership, innovation, and socially responsible business practices. Lewis does not hide his religious faith but does so in a way that avoids proselytizing and self-righteousness. Lewis writes in a clear and engaging style. Chapters are short and each ends with a sentence or two summarizing the chapter’s lesson. Appendices at the end of the book outline many of the book’s lessons. This is an inspiring read. Lewis illustrates that business can do good while also doing well. ( )
