It would be difficult to overstate the impact Sam Walton had on American business, specifically retailing. The standalone box stores he pioneered have quite literally changed the nation’s landscape. His innovations in supply-chain management and distribution totally reshaped the relationship between suppliers and retailers, and, for the most part, took wholesalers out of the equation. His insistence on low prices altered customers’ expectations of what they will have to pay for everything from socks to soda. Like few business leaders before or since, Sam Walton changed the world. Saturday, August 14, 1964 was a broiling hot day in Harrison, Arkansas--but the heat was the last thing on Sam Walton’s mind. For the 46-year-old Walton, this was a big day: the grand opening of his second Wal-Mart. He was going to make damn sure it was a big success. He’d planned everything. In the parking lot, he’d had two truckloads of watermelons delivered and hired a donkey to provide rides for the kids. He headed outside to greet his first customers. What he saw would make most entrepreneurs lose their cool: The watermelons had burst, and donkey dung littered the lot. Walton’s reaction was emblematic of his ability to rise above any challenge. He ignored the mess, smiled, walked up to the crowd, stuck out his hand, and said, “Welcome to Wal-Mart.” That focus on customers is Walton’s prime leadership lesson. But there are many others, beginning with his obsession with low prices--just the first step in a mission to deliver unbeatable value....

The story of a department-store trainee who became the richest man in America and owner of the biggest retail store in the world: Walmart. Sam Walton used the money he earned in the army, along with some financial help from his family, to open his first store. Then he opened fourteen more. Then Sam had an even bigger idea. He wanted to build large stores in small towns and reduce the price of everything they stocked. Although other businessmen and potential partners laughed at him, this entrepreneur with humble beginnings used his resourcefulness to create Walmart, which would become the largest company in the world.

Since Sam Walton's death in 1992, Wal-Mart has gone from being the largest retailer in the world to holding the top spot on the Fortune 500 list as the largest company in the world. Don Soderquist, who was senior vice chairman during that time, played a crucial role in that success. Sam Walton said, "I tried for almost twenty years to hire Don Soderquist . . . But when we really needed him later on, he finally joined up and made a great chief operating officer." Responsible for overseeing many of Wal-Mart's key support divisions, including real estate, human resources, information systems, logistics, legal, corporate affairs, and loss prevention, Soderquist stayed true to his Christian values as well as Wal-Mart's distinct management style. "Probably no other Wal-Mart executive since the legendary Sam Walton has come to embody the principles of the company's culture-or to represent them within the industry-as has Don Soderquist," Discount Store News once reported. In The Wal-Mart Way, Soderquist shares his story of helping lead a global company from being a $43 billion company to one that would eventually exceed $200 billion. Several books have been written about Wal-Mart's success, but none by the ones who were the actual players. It was more than "Everyday Low Prices" and distribution that catapulted the company to the top. The core values based on Judeo-Christian principles-and maintained by leaders such as Soderquist-are the real reason for Wal-Mart's success.

The American public school system is at a crossroad. One pathway is decorated with signs and institutions that will lead public education towards a destination of collective obligation, accountability, and responsibility that is student-centered, community-based, and driven by educators and parents working in the best interest of students, families, communities, and the broader society. The other pathway is littered with pamphlets, flyers, and electronic billboards falsely advertising the merits of school “choice.” The direction American public schools appear to have taken over the past few decades is increasingly dotted with charter schools operated by for-profit multinational corporations, and themed public schools. Increasingly, efforts to reform public education in America resemble the business model made popular by the founder of Wal-Mart, Sam Walton. Big Box Schools: Race, Education, and the Danger of the Wal-Martization of Public Schools in America examines the dangers of the Wal-Martization of American public schools and highlights efforts to challenge policies and practices which place greater emphasis on profits than on pupils.

Katharine Graham was suddenly forced to take charge of The Washington Post after her husband’s suicide. With no leadership training, she overcame timidity, mastered constant crises, and eventually made national history in journalism, business, and politics. In one lifetime, she experienced nearly all the pains and pleasures of self-renewal, American style. Here are the lessons from her experience that you can apply to your life and career. Katharine Graham’s story would probably make a bad movie, but it definitely made a good life. The movie would drag a poor little rich marionette through glib scenes of high living, low loving, suicide, and redemption--a Cinderella knockoff with a too-happy ending. Katharine Graham’s real life evoked something far bigger, the ever surprising power of human potential. She was born Katharine Meyer in New York City on June 16, 1917. Her father, Eugene Meyer, came from a prosperous Alsatian Jewish family living in San Francisco. He moved east as a young man and became one of New York’s most golden investment bankers. Known for taking big risks, Meyer actually never invested in a company without exhaustive research confirming he was making a surefire bet. J. Pierpont Morgan said of him, “Watch out for this fellow Meyer because if you don’t he’ll end up having all the money on Wall Street.” By 1915 Meyer’s fortune matched his age times a million.

Three Super Bowl rings attest to Bill Walsh as “The Genius” of modern professional football. But the care he took with his people and the meticulous planning and preparation that made his game work just as well in businesses as in football. Bill Walsh was never a businessman. But business has much to learn from the brilliant head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.... Time after time, Walsh used meticulous planning and training to turn ordinary teams into giant-killers, ready and able to trounce more talented opponents. Consider that unforgettable moment in Walsh legend known simply as “The Catch.” With only 51 seconds left in the 1981--82 conference championship game, San Francisco trailed the Dallas Cowboys 27 to 21. Defeat--or victory--lay six yards ahead. Cool as ever, quarterback Joe Montana rifled a short pass to receiver Dwight Clark, who out-jumped three defenders to snag it high in the air. Touchdown! An extra-point kick clinched the victory. New Word City, publishers of digital originals, contributes 10 percent of its profits to literacy causes.

Henry Ford’s vision of a car for Everyman and a living wage for his employees created the middle class and forever changed America. But the deeply flawed genius got lost in his own new world. Among the lessons you can learn from his life: Make yourself stand out. If you find a diamond, don’t throw it away. Don’t neglect your opportunities no matter how remote. Understand your weaknesses. When you do recognize your mistakes, don’t punish the world for them. Henry Ford was far from the only inventor chasing the horseless carriage at the turn of the century, and it took him three decades after his encounter with the road roller in 1876 to roll out the Model T in 1908. Even then, he had to outmaneuver his financial backers to pursue his vision of building a car for everyone. Sooner or later, of course, someone else might well have done it. But the world is what it is because of Ford’s patient, dogged determination. If you have a big idea, don’t give up on it.
