If there is something worth doing, it카지노 게임 컬렉션s worth doing right.카지노 게임 컬렉션
That was one of the famous mottoes Melvin 카지노 게임 컬렉션Mel카지노 게임 컬렉션 Goodes, Com카지노 게임 컬렉션57, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션94, would often repeat to his children. But it was also a message the renowned business leader and philanthropist practised himself.
From pioneering one of the world카지노 게임 컬렉션s most valuable heart medicines to donating millions to Alzheimer카지노 게임 컬렉션s research and to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, Mr. Goodes did a lot right, say those who knew him. And he often did it all with a big smile and heaps of humility.
카지노 게임 컬렉션He just wanted to leave the world a better place,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Melanie Caceres, Mr. Goodes카지노 게임 컬렉션 eldest daughter. 카지노 게임 컬렉션And he did.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Mr. Goodes passed away Sept. 30, 2024. He was 89.
No doubt Mr. Goodes learned about doing things right from his parents, Mary and Cedric. Their Hamilton, Ont., household was a loving but hardscrabble one that a teenaged Mr. Goodes helped support with odd jobs, from delivering newspapers to digging graves.
He took that work ethic with him to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s as the first member of his extended family to attend university.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I believe he viewed education as a means to improve the quality of his life,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Michelle MacDonald, Mr. Goodes카지노 게임 컬렉션 second daughter. 카지노 게임 컬렉션And Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s was his pride and joy throughout his life because he attributed the opportunities he was given, as well as his success, to the education he received at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.카지노 게임 컬렉션
After Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, Mr. Goodes moved on to the 카지노게임사이트 of Chicago, where he earned his MBA in 1960, buoyed by Ford Foundation and Sears Roebuck fellowships. He then worked at Canadian Economic Research Associates, Ford Canada, and Carling O카지노 게임 컬렉션Keefe Breweries before joining Warner-Lambert Canada in 1965.
He made his mark quickly at his new employer, a multinational pharmaceutical and consumer health-care products company, becoming its youngest-ever country manager. Mr. Goodes worked his way into senior leadership, largely in international operations, and was named CEO and chairman in 1991.
Mr. Goodes came to the helm of the company at a difficult time. Warner-Lambert카지노 게임 컬렉션s productivity in pharmaceutical research was well behind that of its competitors. So was its market value, then sitting at about $9 billion, one of the lowest among global pharmaceutical companies.
The turning point for Warner- Lambert came early in Mr. Goodes카지노 게임 컬렉션 chairmanship, when he and his leadership team faced a decision: whether to fund an expensive clinical trial for a statin invented in the company카지노 게임 컬렉션s labs. Even if approved, this new drug would square off against four other statins already on the market. Senior members of his leadership team urged Mr. Goodes to end development, citing the odds against commercial success.
카지노 게임 컬렉션A hundred per cent humble. My husband never used the word 카지노 게임 컬렉션I.카지노 게임 컬렉션 It was always 카지노 게임 컬렉션we카지노 게임 컬렉션 in referencing any success in the company.카지노 게임 컬렉션
But the two scientists closest to the drug disagreed, believing it could emerge superior to the competition. Their passionate pitch convinced Mr. Goodes to approve a clinical trial, one whose results would spark a stunning turnaround for Warner-Lambert. The new statin, trade named Lipitor, was introduced in 1996, with Pfizer as a marketing partner. Lipitor would become the largest-selling cardiovascular therapy in history.
That was Mr. Goodes to a T, says John Santoro, his longtime speechwriter at Warner-Lambert. 카지노 게임 컬렉션They talk about Ulysses S. Grant being able to size up a battlefield very quickly and make a decision. Mel was the same way. He had this boundless optimism. He chose good people, he trusted them to do the right thing, and he was almost always right.카지노 게임 컬렉션
But as Mr. Santoro and Mr. Goodes카지노 게임 컬렉션 wife, Nancy, agree, he would never take full credit for wins like Lipitor.
카지노 게임 컬렉션A hundred per cent humble,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mrs. Goodes. 카지노 게임 컬렉션My husband never used the word 카지노 게임 컬렉션I.카지노 게임 컬렉션 It was always 카지노 게임 컬렉션we카지노 게임 컬렉션 in referencing any success in the company, any of his personal success. That was who he was.카지노 게임 컬렉션
In 1999, one year after Mr. Goodes retired, Pfizer would buy Warner-Lambert for $110 billion.
Mr. Goodes would go on to serve as a director of Ameritech, Chase Manhattan, and Unisys. He was also a member of the National Council on Economic Education카지노 게임 컬렉션s executive committee.
Through it all, his family says Mr. Goodes stayed true to himself. He was an optimist, a realist, a fervent believer in human potential. But he never took himself too seriously and never held back his huge laugh. He also never stopped singing O Canada at the top of his lungs at NHL games in the U.S. (despite the embarrassment of his kids).
And he never forgot his first alma mater in Kingston, where he served as a member of the Board of Trustees and was awarded an LLD in 1994.
He also donated $10 million in 2001 to help build a new home for the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s School of Business in a building now called Goodes Hall in honour of his parents.
Mr. Goodes said at the time that his father카지노 게임 컬렉션s sacrifices, which enabled him to attend university, inspired him to help other young people access the same opportunity.
Later, there was a further donation of $5 million to expand the building. This was completed in 2012. In addition, Mr. Goodes established the at Smith School of Business, recognizing his longtime mentor, Professor Dan Monieson.
Through his foundation, Mr. Goodes also created the Melvin R. Goodes Entrance Award to support students entering an undergraduate program at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.
In 2010, Mr. Goodes made a stunning public announcement: he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer카지노 게임 컬렉션s disease. He and Mrs. Goodes became key supporters of the Alzheimer카지노 게임 컬렉션s Drug Discovery Foundation, devoted to finding and developing new therapies. An outgrowth of their support is the , given annually to speed the work of promising approaches to Alzheimer카지노 게임 컬렉션s diagnosis and treatment.
Just after Mr. Goodes was diagnosed with Alzheimer카지노 게임 컬렉션s, he recorded a video of himself for his grandkids that wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t viewed until after he passed.
His son, David, had the chance to watch it last fall.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It was this really heartfelt message about education and separating yourself through effort,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says David. 카지노 게임 컬렉션And that no matter what you do, whether you카지노 게임 컬렉션re a CEO or a sanitation worker, you can still be the best one you could possibly be.카지노 게임 컬렉션
And, of course, that famous Mel Goodes motto came through loud and clear, says David: 카지노 게임 컬렉션If there is something worth doing, it카지노 게임 컬렉션s worth doing right.카지노 게임 컬렉션
