THE INVENTOR OF MANAGEMENT CONSULTING by E. H. Edersheim

“I have always heard about Marvin Bower, considered around here as sort of the inventor of management consulting as we know it. He set the standard, not by articulating the standard but by practicing the standard—both by the kind of people he selected and how he worked with them. Everybody feels a strong sense of his leadership—he does that very much by example.”
