What Makes Dan Bollom So Tall?: A Memoir of Life Experiences and Advice from a Retired CEO

Dan Bollom believes there are no unimportant jobs. Thus, there are no unimportant people. In this refreshingly honest memoir, Bollom relates how this down-to-earth philosophy shaped his success in life. Throughout his early years in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Bollom experienced first-hand the difficulties and sacrifices of the Great Depression and World War II, but he also enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. Whether it was the circus coming to town, hunting and fishing near their Spring Brook shanty for the family meal, or participating in the local softball team, Bollom learned valuable lessons about hard work, dedication, and the necessity of laughter. Bollom's persistence and drive to succeed paid off. He graduated from college and landed a job at Wisconsin Public Service as an accountant. With steady determination, he moved up the ranks through the years, married and had a family, and never lost sight of his goals, eventually achieving the rank of president and CEO of the company, a position he retired from in 1997. Candid and humorous, What Makes Dan Bollom So Tall? intimately shows how one man's success was not an end, but a never-ending journey.
