One Pilgrim's Progress: How To Build A World-Class Company, And Who To Credit: how to build a world-class company, and who to credit

The Story

Bo Pilgrim had no college education, but he did have a big dose of Texas courage and a heavenly calling that led him to start his own business after World War II. Reggie Wallace, who worked with Pilgrim for fifty years, describes it this way: 'All we had in the beginning was a two-wheel buggy, a shovel, some burlap sacks, and Bo's big ideas.' Today, Pilgrim's Pride is a multi-billion-dollar enterprise that employs more than 40,000 people and processes 30 million chickens a week. In One Pilgrim's Progress, Pilgrim shares the essential values he learned as a boy that are the foundation of his business success.
