In "Creating Magic", he shares the ten common-sense strategies that guided his own journey from a poor farm boy in Oklahoma to the head of operations for a multibillion dollar enterprise. Combining surprising business wisdom with insightful and entertaining stories from his four decades on the front lines of some of the world's best-run companies, Lee shows all of us - from small business owners to managers at every level - how to become better leaders by infusing quality, character, courage, enthusiasm and integrity into our workplaces and our lives.
