Working a Better Way

The power of 'principled' leadership underscores the memoir, Working a Better Way, by H. Britt Landrum, Jr. It is a history of the 50-year old human resources company the author founded in Pensacola, Florida when he was 32-years old.

Mr. Landrum built pillars stemming from his foundational beliefs, and with the backing of a devoted workforce, watched doors open time and again throughout his five decades at the helm. The values he held dear served as his guideposts and characterized the enterprising ways he chose to build the business in benefit to the company's employees and clients, and to his family, industry and community as well.
