A great British business leader, Sir John Harvey Jones, passed away today,
someone that I have followed for many years and always admired. Harvey
Jones, a former Naval commander, left a Naval career to return to Britain
for family reasons. He went on to rise quickly and become CEO and later
Chairman of ICI during its turbulent years in the mid-1980s.
After retiring from ICI, Harvey-Jones got involved in helping business and
promoting business in the UK in a series of programs and books entitled
"Troubleshooter" and "Making it Happen." One of the companies he helped
bring some incremental positive change to was Morgan cars, if interested,
see BBC video link below.

many talents.
