Moyle, Second Counselor in the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; and Adam S. Bennion of the Council of the Twelve, until his recent passing.
Successful Leadership is well worth adding to libraries where young people, looking forward to business careers, can see what successful businessmen believe is required for achievement in the various fields of endeavor.
