The Jim Moran: The Courtesy Man chronicles the life experience of one of Corporate America's unsung heroes, James M. Moran. From humble beginnings, Jim Moran built a multi billion dollar automotive empire from his shear will, determination and commitment to doing the right thing by those who trust him. Follow Mr. Moran through his incredible journey from a one man gas station operation, to building the most successful Ford franchise in history by becoming Chicago's answer to Ed Sullivan, to the verge of death after the "good old boy" Ford management eliminated his dealership, to the unparalleled success Mr. Moran enjoys today through his long standing relationship with Toyota and his commitment to JM Family Enterprises and its associates. This book provides an entertaining and enjoyable read and is an inspirational testament to the spirit of the American Dream. It is my fondest hope that the business philosophy described in this book captures the attention and imagination of America's Corporate Elite (replacing such revered drivel espoused by the likes of corporate scum like Jack Welsh, who in my opinion should have titled his book: "From the Colon").
