HENRY R. LUCE of TIME, INC. by Peter F. Drucker

“When it came to discussing ideas or opinions, Luce knew neither rank nor age nor sex; he respected ideas and opinions even though he did not always respect people.

He was perfectly willing to be argued out of an opinion by a junior, provided the junior had done the homework and made sense.

He was capable—I saw it more than once—of overruling a person and then, a few days or weeks later, calling up or sending one of his famous memoranda to say: ‘You were right. We do it your way.’

He also went to great lengths to support younger people.”
