uckland 1909: 24-year-old businessman Robert Laidlaw<br />
Alaunches a mail-order business that will become <strong>the</strong><br />
adventure of a lifetime. In a few years it grows to become<br />
<strong>the</strong> largest store in <strong>the</strong> country and sets new standards for<br />
what it means to be in business. Free buses to his store every<br />
seven minutes, a free carpark, a Christm<strong>as</strong> parade, in-store<br />
giveaways, prizes worth a year’s income, <strong>the</strong> highest-quality<br />
goods at <strong>the</strong> lowest possible prices—few have seen a business<br />
like it. Nor does he stop <strong>the</strong>re. His launch into chain stores<br />
pre-dates his American counterparts. He is <strong>the</strong> author of<br />
one of <strong>the</strong> finest mission statements ever written, an early<br />
exponent of welfare work, and an efficiency expert<br />
before F.W. Taylor’s cl<strong>as</strong>sic Scientific Management w<strong>as</strong> even<br />
published. Behind it all lay a carefully planned strategy for<br />
business success.<br />
Man For Our Time is an incredible blend of business<br />
genius and faith. From <strong>the</strong> Highlands of Scotland to <strong>the</strong><br />
shores of New Zealand, from Henry Ford’s moving <strong>as</strong>sembly<br />
line in Detroit to <strong>the</strong> beaches of<br />
Normandy during World War II, this<br />
panoramic biography of one of <strong>the</strong><br />
20th century’s greatest businessmen<br />
is a story that will capture your heart<br />
and inspire you to action.<br />
