Note on Camelot: The book you are about to read is my analysis of a very successful entrepreneur and the company he created. I will look back on the ways Philip B. Crosby created what many former employees call a "Business Camelot"-a place where employees and clients could achieve results far belong their dreams. This was all undergirded by a culture that was rare in any company, public or private, that I had ever experienced. I also want to share with you some of the experiences that Philip Crosby Associates (PCA) employees had with Phil that explain his success. In addition, I used research developed through talking to many successful entrepreneurs about their start-up companies. What I found was that every successful company did things a little differently, but most had a great leader and some consistent characteristics. Phil created a "Business Camelot" that I will never forget and taught me to give more of myself to others. He gave me a chance to achieve my life's goals and meet some of the most dynamic leaders of our times: Chairman of Chrysler Corporation, Lee Iacocca; President Ronald Reagan; President George H.W. Bush and many other notables in business and politics.
