Hank Moore - Houston Legends: History and Heritage of Dynamic Global Capitol

HOUSTON LEGENDS

Like, Rome, Houston was not built in one day. It took many years and the special talents of generations of visionaries and builders. In his book, Houston Legends, Hank Moore has captured the unique entrepreneurial spirit that has made our City great.

Fred Hofheinz, Mayor of Houston, 1974-1978.

Hank Moore is a thought leader. Cognizant of the past, he weaves the accomplishments of others into dynamic strategies. Ive worked with him and admire his writings.

George P. Mitchell, Chairman of Mitchell Energy & Development. Developer of The Woodlands and downtown renovation in Galveston.

Hank Moore truly embodies the concept of the Renaissance Man, from his worldly connections and involvement to his almost eerie sense of business acumen, in forecasting trends and patterns of commerce. To those of us who deal in the often delicate balance of customer and company, it is blessing to have, in Hank Moore, a resource we can depend on for fair, statesmanlike and balanced observation. I count him as a valued business friend.

Dan Parsons, President, The Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan Houston & South Texas.

Hank Moore is a local Houston icon! He has been the adviser to many leaders in our great state and nation. His book looks to be a grand story telling of what has made Houston so different and great!

Martha Wong, educator. Former member of the Texas Legislature. Former member of the Houston City Council.

Every book that Hank Moore writes is a keeper. Thats because of his thought leadership and ability to target what is paramount. Houston Legends is not only required reading, it is blessed reading for those of us who are Houstonians and those around the world who wish they were. Hank Moore brings out the grits and guts of these pioneers like nobody else could. You will be recommending this book to your friends.

Anthony Pizzitola MBA, CFM, CBCP, MBCI, Quality Assurance Manager - Jones Lang LaSalle.

Hank Moore knows more people than a person who just got elected as President of the United States, and more importantly he knows how to bring out their traits. I dont know how he does it.

George W. Strake Jr., Chairman and President of Strake Energy, Inc. Former Texas Secretary of State.

I am pleased to endorse the great book, Houston Legends. People like Hank Moore and the legends he writes about are what continue to make our city better and greater. Continue your great community service for many more years. Your friend always.

Felix Fraga, Neighborhood Centers, Inc. Former member of the Houston City Council. Former member of the HISD school board.

Great cities draw upon rich histories and visionary people. Ive read Hank Moores previous books and attest that his approach to local history is world-class. Hank has long been a friend and trusted adviser.

Lee P. Brown, Mayor of Houston, 1998-2004. Former chief of police in Houston, Atlanta and New York City.

The growth of Houston was fueled by opportunity, entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to community building. My family has been proud to be a part of this legacy. Hank Moores book skillfully details the collective contributions of many great families and citizens. Im so glad that such an important historical perspective has been written and congratulate Hank for this mighty undertaking.

Judson Robinson III, President and CEO, Houston Area Urban League. Former member of the Houston City Council.

Hank Moore works miracles in changing stuck mindsets. He empowers knowledge from without by enthusing executives to reach within.

Dino Nicandros (1998), Chairman of the Board, Conoco.

Mr. Moore is one of the true authority figures for business and organization life. He is the only one with an Ethics Statement, which CEOs understand and appreciate.

Ben Love (2009), Vice Chairman, Chase Bank.

Hank Moores Business Tree is the most original business model of the last 50 years.

Peter Drucker (2002), business visionary.

Someday, Hank Moore will write the history of the city to whose future he has mightily contributed.

Lyndall Wortham (1974), community leader.

Always ahead of the trends, Hank Moores insights are deep, applicable beyond the obvious.

Lady Bird Johnson (1993), former First Lady of the United States.

Hank Moore provides fresh approaches to heavily complex issues. His step-by-step study of the business layers makes sense. It shows how much success one could miss by trying to take shortcuts. There cannot be a price put on that kind of expertise.

Roy Disney (2000).

How can one person with so much insight into cultural history and nostalgia be such a visionary of business and organizations? Hank Moore is one of the few who understands the connection.

Dick Clark (2003), TV icon.

Hank Moore is a million dollar idea person. He is one of the few business experts whose work directly impacts a companys book value.

Peter Bijur (2007), Chairman of the Board, Texaco.

30 minutes with Hank Moore is like 30 months with almost any other brilliant business guru. Hes exceptional, unlike any other, and with a testimonial list to prove it. As a speaker, hes utterly content rich, no fluff, no feely-touchy nonsense, right to the point and unashamed to tell the truth. There is nobody better. Every CEO needs him.

Michael Hick, Director, Global Business Initiatives.

I could not have wished for a better boss and mentor in my first professional job than Hank Moore. He leads by example, and taught me valuable lessons not only about business, but also professionalism and ethics that have stood me well throughout my career. Indeed, when I was in a position to mentor others, Ive often repeated Hank Moore stories to my staff, and theyve all heard of my first boss. Over time, I grew to understand more and more that Hank Moore treats others with respect, and thereby commands respect. I was privileged to be trained by this creative and brilliant thinker who gets more accomplished in a day than most do in a week.
