Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This is the subjective story of one man's journey through life, the obstacles he encountered and the methods he used to forge two, successful, thirty-year careers.Circumstances caused Norman Graham to leave school and enter the workforce at the age of fourteen. At seventeen he enlisted in the Canadian army in the rank of boy. He chronicles his climb up the ranks, rung by rung, and his service in various parts of Canada, the UK, Europe and Africa.When Norman retired from the army in 1974 he embarked on a career in business. Again, using determination and perseverance, he succeeded in building a successful McDonald's restaurant franchise in Brantford and Paris, Ontario. He also served on the board of directors of several large companies and made a valuable contribution to many charitable institutions in his adopted city of Brantford.From the Barrack Room to the Boardroom is a truly inspiring read.
