Dr. Chuck Williams began working at the age of 8, babysitting, mowing people's lawns, raking leaves, shoveling the snow from their driveways, delivering newspapers (at the age of 12 he won an all-expense paid trip to New York City by winning a contest for signing up the most new newspaper subscribers in his region), working as a stock boy at a pharmacy and a shoe store, sandblasting furnaces at a steel company, repairing roads for the highway department, detailing and washing cars at a Chevy dealership and working at General Motors. Those varied work experiences, combined with dinnertime discussions growing up when his mother discussed the management problems and eventual demise of the Fortune 500 Company she worked for, led to his interest in Management and the difference, good and bad, it could make in people's lives.
