Harry Gordon Selfridge
Harry Gordon Selfridge (1856–1947) was an
American-born British retail magnate, who founded
the London-based department store Selfridges.
His 30-year leadership of Selfridges led to him
becoming one of the most respected and wealthy
retail magnates in the United Kingdom. He is currently
being profiled in the popular BBC series Mr.
Selfridge, as played by Jeremy Piven.
• This beautifully packaged version of Selfridge’s groundbreaking
text reveals his personal maxims for building character and
achieving success
• Much like Sun Tzu’s Art of War, this text provides modern readers with
wisdom that is still pertinent today, nearly 100 years after its publication
• The PBS mini series Mr. Selfridge drew in an average of 6.9 million
UK viewers!
Founder of one of the greatest department stores in the world, Harry
Gordon Selfridge reopened his doors—and life—to millions of men and
women this year with the wildly popular PBS series, Mr. Selfridge. While
the show provides modern audiences with a remarkable portrait of the
entrepreneur, this book will reveal the secrets behind his success as both
a tycoon and gentleman. Filled with revolutionary thoughts about business,
leadership, and society, Selfridge will inspire readers with powerful
aphorisms like:
• People will sit up and take notice of you if you will sit up and take
notice of what makes them sit up and take notice.
• The boss drives his men; the leader coaches them.
• The customer is always right.
With Mr. Selfridge’s Romance of Commerce, today’s generation will uncover
the innovative ideas that helped launch London’s most iconic department
store and that changed the lives of women and businessmen everywhere.
