In many ways, Marvin's McKinsey framed the hypotheses in our own search for excellence-for example, passion for values, belief in people as the prime resource, and willingness to let people experiment. As well as I thought I knew Marvin, however, this remarkable book, drawing on the collective memories of those who worked most closely with him, taught me a ton about how extraordinary the man really was and what made him that way. Many have called Drucker the man who invented management; I think history will conclude that both he and Marvin Bower share that pedestal.\"\u003cbr\u003e -Bob Waterman, coauthor of In Search of Excellence\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Marvin Bower became a legend, not just within McKinsey \u0026amp; Company, but within professional services and the business world more broadly.
