Hailed by Time magazine as the "leading evangelist of quality," Philip Crosby has emerged as one of the century's greatest management thinkers. Now, in this autobiography, the person most responsible for the quality revolution in American business shares the ideas and insights he's gathered over the course of an eventful, forty-year career. A talented storyteller, Crosby recounts his years as vice president of ITT, his working relationship with the legAndary Harold Geneen, and the launch--and re-launch--of his own consulting practice. Quality and Me is an intimate, informative portrait of the man who changed the way quality management is practiced today.

PHILIP CROSBY is chairman and CEO of Philip Crosby Associates II, based in Winter Park, Florida. He is the author of twelve books, including Quality Is Free, which sold more than two million copies, and The Absolutes of Leadership (Jossey-Bass, 1997).
