Description
Summary:President George W. Bush suffers no shortage of advice going into the presidency. Democrats advise forgetting what he campaigned on and governing like a Democrat. Conservatives say he needs to push a conservative agenda. And there is yet another position: that he consider himself America's CEO and focus on management issues. Recently, PricewaterhouseCoopers CEO James J. Schiro edited a book, Memos to the President: Management Advice from the Nation's Top CEOs, which solicited memos offering management advice from 23 CEOs, including UPS's James P. Kelly, Marriott's J.W. Marriott, Jr., and Eli Lilly's Sidney Taurel.
