THE LEADERSHIP VALUES AND PRACTICES OF JIM BURKE



James Edward Burke, better known as "Jim" to all at Johnson & Johnson, died on Friday, 28 September, at the age of 87. Jim served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at J&J from 1976 - 1989. He is deservedly credited with successfully leading the company through the Tylenol crises of 1982 and 1986, and building the trust that brand and company earned, and enjoyed for many years.

There is much to be learned from not only the way he led and inspired his company but how he managed his life.
