Randy Lewis bet his career that he could create an inclusive workplace at one of America’s biggest corporations where people with disabilities could not just succeed, but thrive. No Greatness without Goodness is the powerful story of a corporate executive who, after watching the world through the eyes of his own child with autism, Austin, realized that we all have a greater responsibility to make the world a better place for everyone, including those with disabilities.

As the Senior Vice President of Walgreens, Randy Lewis has created thousands of full-time jobs for people with disabilities. No Greatness without Goodness offers a firsthand account of what it takes to lead with courage in order to change people’s lives for the better. 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.

From the Inside Flap

I had practiced my speech over and over, but I was still nervous as I climbed the stairs to the stage in the middle of the Paris Las Vegas ballroom. Surrounded by an audience of five thousand Walgreens store managers, I said that we were about to undertake something that had never been done before--anywhere. We were planning to build the most efficient distribution center of its kind in the world.And we were going to staff one-third of the workforce with people who have disabilities, many of whom had never been offered a job. People with mental disabilities such as autism and cognitive delays. People with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, spinal cord injuries, and missing limbs. We were going to pay them the same as people without disabilities, have them perform the same jobs, and hold them to the same standards. We would offer full benefits and full-time employment, taking hundreds of people off welfare rolls.As I prepared to tell the five thousand store managers how we were going to do all this, the huge screens surrounding the stage filled with a picture of my family. That's because my family is where the story began.You'll be inspired by this incredible story of a father who was committed to making the world a better place. No matter where you are or how much power you hold, you, too, can start working for good.The next generation is waiting for you to act.

From the Back Cover

A powerful story about the courage to create a better world
No Greatness with-out Goodness is the story of a senior vice president at Walgreens who bet his career on making the world a better place for people with disabilities. When Randy Lewis’s son, Austin, was three years old, Randy and his wife received a sobering diagnosis: their son had a debilitating form of autism. As Randy learned to see the world through his son’s eyes, something dawned on him. He knew deep down that many people with disabilities could hold jobs and even perform better than the average worker, if only they were given a chance. What he didn’t know was that he would be their only chance.

Read this and do good.

$20 ...... I laughed til my belly hurt while tears of joy flowed til I thought I would cramp from dehydration.....and yet this is just one of maybe fifty to one hundred times I was so living the moment that I imagined I was there....it was real.
Therein is the measure of a great book ....do you live it, feel it,..... I measure all the books I read by this ..... Top of the list is James Minchner"s "Texas".... “Alaska” is up there but it ain't Texas.... "Same Kind of Different" comes to mind and now NGWOG jumps up in the short list.... I'm glad I am retired so I don't have to go to work today as I could not put it down and read all night....(thank you very much)...some of the passages I know from knowing you but countless others I felt the same emotions because of the story you told as I related to others I know.
Payday and payday ….. almost makes me want to find a job.....almost....I will settle for work but that is another subject.
This book is a love story and is a testament that you and all mentioned are living the "love your neighbor as yourself" life whether intentionally or not and yet filled with short comings and doubts that I and most people have....
if Batting 300 puts you in the Hall of Fame surely you have a leg up on the “Stairway to Heaven”.
So you see I LOVED your book…so what.....my thoughts, running through sometimes empty space between the ears, reflect back to other times of social challenges.....integration, AIDS, addictions, gay/lesbian, dang The USA itself....the common theme to success/acceptance/understanding/melding has been education....not just book learning...degree....graduate....pass test type education but an understanding....My Dad said if you don’t like someone walk a mile in their shoes (translation: get to know them) …ergo not them…us
So or therefore for me I will endeavor to get a copy of this book in the hands of people that can educate our nation be it one business, one state, one city, one organization, one group, one couple or one person at a time.... and if I am right in my valuation of this book, then it will come to pass....That is my hope and prayer.
When Donna and I went to China we where filled with thoughts of what we where going to do for God.....we learned He sent us to learn what He was going to do for us...to teach us...and Thanks be to God for that and much more..
By the way, we do not see Austin as quirky or weird .... rather as Austin....Sarah may be more weird or quirky than your other children...no offense Allison or Austin.... My life and understanding of it has been enriched by you, Austin...and others
and I am better for that....by the way I see all people as weird that are different than me....I truly am the only one that is not I guess....probably good for the world though.
Have thousands of other thoughts, reflections, comments, stories to share but have already sent longest email in my history....so goodbye and I love you

Uplifting and real

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 7, 2020

I got this book after just reading the Amazon mini summary. It drew my attention because I have an autistic stepson. I started reading in hopes that there might be some ideas in ways of helping him, he is severely autistic with underlying brain damage. The first thing I got from this was that the author really understands what I feel every day and states it clearly by saying that we all wish to live one day longer than our child. Now what Mr Lewis has written here is greatly inspiring to all of us in this community. He has created a way for a large portion of the community to move forward and be in the community at large of the human race. What Mr Lewis may not know he has done is placed the whole community out in the open to anyone who reads this amazing story. In doing so he helps those of us who have children who will never be accepted in the larger community by first showing that we that care for them are truly not alone, and also gets others who don't deal with this on a daily basis what we feel and go through. Randy, I want to thank you for showing that we are out here. This book will open eyes to everything we should be doing from helping each other to helping and supporting even those we don't know but are on a daily basis.
Please read this with an open heart and maybe it will open your eyes. You will be amazed how much of a difference one man, like Randy Lewis, can make with a simple book.

My favorite book of the year

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

This was one of the books on my summer reading list and has turned out to be my favorite book of the year so far. As I want to motivate you to read it for yourself, here are 10 reasons to do so.

1. It will give you a greater love for the disabled and a greater appreciation of their gifts.

2. It will inspire you to fight for justice for the disabled and to include them much more in public life.

3. It will inspire those with disabilities, and especially their caregivers and supporters, that so much more can be accomplished than is often feared.

4. It will give you an insight into the burden of fear, anxiety, and exclusion that the families of the disabled live with.

5. It will demonstrate Christian faith tried in the furnace of affliction.

6. It will call the church to emulate and exceed Walgreens. After all, if a corporation can do it, how much more can and should the church.

7. It will challenge businesses and corporations to employ more people with disabilities – not just out of compassion but out of concern for profits!

8. It will teach you leadership principles. Each of the 40 or so short chapters end with a catchy saying, a proverb, that Lewis draws from His experiences. Many of these are pure gold.

9. It will make you cry, it will make you laugh, it will make you shout with joy!

10. It will make you realize how much one person can do with God’s blessing. When Lewis was hesitating at one point, his wife Kay shared the story of Esther with him: “Perhaps you were made vice president for such a time as this.” Then, with absolute conviction in her voice, she said, “All the angels and the powers of heaven are standing behind you.”

A different mindset

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

I heard Randy Lewis being interviewed on Radio 2' Good Morning Sunday' and was instantly struck by Randy's modesty, passion, compassion and drive. Having "met" the person I wanted to read this inspirational book. Although I have not finished it I am enjoying it's easy reading style. Randy describes how the birth of his son Austin redefines his life and he comes to realise that Austin has autism.
This book is full of gems as he shares his journey to provide work for people with disability in the USA's largest distribution network. "Our mission clarified what and how. Mission gets us to the top of the maountain. But it doesn't tell us why we do it. Meaning is why we climb"; "but each time I failed, I've found that failure is a teacher. It's a fitness centre for the soul".
Randy's drive is to make sure that his son can be as independent as possible, so that when he's not around later in life to look after him, a network of security has been put into place to help him continue with a quality of life, meaning and purpose.
This is not a sob story, it is an inspiration.

Fabulously inspiring book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

Fabulously inspiring book. My daughter was statemented with a severe and complex intellectual disability and dreams of finding work other than the volunteer work she currently does. We have come across many barriers even with finding volunteer work. My daughter doesn't have a problem, the problem often lies with the stereotyping by employers/others. Randy Lewis shows how attitudes can be changed in a positive way the outcome being the inclusion of disabled people 'equally' in the workforce. Randy Lewis shows this can be a win win situation. Just wish we had a 'Champion' like Randy Lewis in the UK. I read this book in half a day and highly recommend it.

Heartwarming, factual book - a real groundbreaking life story for parents of disabled people to read and be amazed by - I really enjoyed reading the book and I applaud this father who wanted to do the best for all disabled people just like his own son and worked so hard to make opportunities for these very special people who now have rewarding and satisfying jobs and a new purpose in life.

Absolutely inspirational. I was blown away by how Randy tackled our everyday perception of what can and cannot be done. How employers and employees (and shareholders!) have changed in the face of his calm determination and dream of making the workplace truly equal opportunity. I heard about it on the radio, bought the book on Kindle and hope I never look back!

The most inspirational book I have read in a very long time. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry and it will definitely make you want to become a better person. It should be required reading for all people in management. Though this was written primarily about helping people with disabilities there are many lessons there for people in all walks of life.
