The History Book Club discussion

On this thread - suggest thought leaders, start up leaders, entrepreneurial leaders and their companies that should have a thread. Also thought leaders who do not have a company but may be philanthropists, etc., or creative thinkers who are changing the world with their thinking and/or are inspirational.

Suggest their names and/or their companies on this thread. Or if they are strictly a thought leader - identify them here.

I like the list we have so far. I look forward to contributing to many of those threads at some point. I have a couple more suggestions:

Jim Collins, whose research on what makes companies successful is both prolific and actionable.

Jack Welch, long-time CEO of GE.

Koch Industries, the 2nd largest private company in America, lead by the Koch brothers, who use some interesting business practices.

Great Douglass - that is terrific - and it would be wonderful for you to be a thought leader for some of these threads in the future. I will take a look at your suggestions when I am by my home computer.

That could be a good project for me. I am currently teaching 2 high school business classes while working on my MBA, so I am absorbed in this stuff right now.

Great - send me a PM with an email address and I will send you some helpful hints and get you on your way for this folder. Better an email address because it is tough to send PMs with formatting.

Also, we can have multiple thought leaders per folder or thread - so if you know of some other folks who want to help you - the more the merrier and we will be able to enhance this folder.

Douglass - we added and integrated the above. Hope all is well with you as I do some adds to help you out.
