Lee Iacocca: Former CEO of Chrysler, author, philanthropist

"The kind of people I look for to fill top management spots are the eager beavers, the mavericks. These are the guys who try to do more than they're expected to do — they always reach."

Maverick: [mav-er-ik, mav-rik] noun — A lone dissenter who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates. How many valedictorians does a high school or college have? How many CEOs are there in a company? How many presidents of the United States are there at any one given time? My point exactly. If you live your life doing what everyone else does, you’ll become like everyone else. To be original, unique, and possibly THE BEST, you have to do MORE than everyone else. Dr. John Eliot shows you how.
