FROM THE FOREWORD
“This book isn’t just about how private equity investing has been so successful.”
The lessons enumerated here also apply to both public and private companies. Ted, without a college degree and having his start as a shipping clerk, provides a perfect example of one of the attributes that make this country great: gumption. The cream always rises to the top, as they say.
