Multifaceted
entrepreneur Frank Maguire to give Sebo Lecture
“Inventing the Future” will be the topic Friday
(April 29) when entrepreneur Francis (Frank) X. Maguire
delivers the second annual Bob and Karen Sebo Lecture
Friday (April 29). It has been said that if you have ever
FedEx'd a package, watched ABC's "Nightline,"
flown on American Airlines or eaten Kentucky Fried Chicken,
then "you've been touched by the work of Frank Maguire."
As a founding senior VP at FedEx, Maguire created a corporate
culture that turned overnight from a promise into a guarantee.
His ingenuity has been credited for FedEx being named
a "Top Ten Corporation of the Decade" by Fortune
magazine and becoming the first service company to receive
the coveted Malcolm Baldridge Quality Award.
Maguire also was the man who, while head of program development
at ABC Radio Network, launched the careers of Ted Koppel
and Charles Osgood. His resume includes stints working
in the JFK and Johnson administrations, directing marketing
and public relations for American Airlines and serving
as vice president of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Known for his wit, wisdom and storytelling, he now heads
Maguire Communications in Los Angeles. Considered one
of the world's leading management consultants, he is author
of the book, You're the Greatest, which details
his philosophy on recruiting and retaining dedicated workers.
His firm specializes in branding, customer relations,
corporate culture and leadership communications.
Hosted by the Dallas/Hamilton Center for Entrepreneurial
Leadership and the College of Business Administration,
the event is part of Building Dreams: The Centennial Campaign
for Bowling Green State University.
