Genuinely talented and successful managers in any field - business,
government, military, academia - are scarce. John Howard Burdakin
was a happy exception to the norm. This engaging biography examines
Burdakin's life in the railroad industry - at Pennsylvania
Railroad, Penn Central, and finally at Grand Trunk Corporation -
during a tumultuous time in the transportation business and
underscores his core principles and how he employed them in the
management of people and property. Some contemporary observers may
consider Burdakin's often conservative style as quite out of date,
but a more sober assessment reveals that his approach has utility
in any time and in any field. An excellent resource for leadership
professionals, this study focuses on Burdakin's career in
management, ever stressing his foundational convictions - how he
came by them, how he employed those principles as a manager, and
how they were understood by those who worked for him or with him.
Through teamwork, trust, hard work, honesty, diligence, and
integrity, Burdakin would become respected as one of the railroad
industry's brightest guiding lights.
