Book: No Greatness without Goodness by Randy Lewis

BHS 401 Assignment #1: Individual Book Report
Required Book: No Greatness without Goodness by Randy Lewis
Rationale: There are many stories of individuals using their position to advocate to
improve the lives of individuals with disabilities. The book, No Greatness without
Goodness offers a firsthand account of what it takes to lead with courage to change
people’s lives for the better.
As the Senior Vice President of Walgreens, Randy Lewis has created thousands of fulltime jobs for people with disabilities. Randy’s motto is “What’s the use of having power
if you don’t use it to do good.” In this book, you’ll learn how to start working for good no
matter where you are or how much power you hold.
At the end of each chapter, the author provides a brief synopsis of the chapter in the
form of his lesson learned. Your Book Report is to include a total of four-chapter
overviews. Each chapter overview is to be based on a different chapter 'lesson'
that resonates with you.
For each of the four “Lesson Learned: Chapter Overviews” you must include the
following:

1. An introductory description of the lesson/synopsis (in your own words)
2. A discussion that addresses the following questions:
   a.) Why did you choose this lesson?
   b.) How did it resonate with you?
3. Includes at least one additional REPUTABLE resource that is thoughtfully
   connected to the lesson/synopsis you have chosen.
   Additional points you can discuss where applicable:
   • What do you still question?
   • How could this lesson apply to your career?
   • How could this lesson apply to your specific area of professional interest? (e.g.,
   Autism Spectrum Disorder, Developmental Disabilities, Addictions, Mental
   Health)
   • How could you mobilize this lesson into practice?
