Synopsis Todd Buchholz presents incisive portraits of 20th-century business greats who were, he makes clear, ahead of their time and who have much to teach us today: Walt Disney, McDonald's Ray Kroc , Estee Lauder, RCA's David Sarnoff, IBM's Tom Watson (Sr. and Jr.), and others. Buchholz mines their usually fascinating personal lives and early business struggles, and tells how they made their fame and fortune with new ideas, such as Disney's realization that entertainment-related products will maximize profits. All of this before the term "brand" was ever used. File under: we stand on the shoulders of giants.
