Casey's Law

Albert V. Casey · 1998
73/100
👍 Worth It

Al Casey ran American Airlines for eleven years, turned around the U.S. Postal Service, and led Times Mirror — and his memoir carries the relaxed confidence of someone who actually did the work rather than theorized about it. The title flips Murphy's Law into an optimist's creed: if something can go right, it should. That disposition runs through every chapter, and it is genuinely refreshing compared to the anxiety-heavy executive memoir genre. Library Journal recommended it for business collections. The honest caveat is that this is a warm, anecdotal book rather than a rigorous analytical one; readers looking for detailed operational case studies or data-driven lessons will find it lighter than they hoped. Some material also reflects an earlier corporate era. For readers who want an encouraging, plainspoken business memoir, Casey delivers.
