Bag Man: The Story Behind the Improbable Rise of Coach

 

By Lew Frankfort

In Bag Man, Lew Frankfort explains how the son of a Bronx policeman, after working in city government, built a business that challenged conventions, grew it 1000%, and became recognized as one of the world's best CEOs. Throughout the book, Frankfort considers a more personal aspect of leadership—how the double-edged sword of fear and drive can lead to success but also take a toll. He shares his struggles with a haunting fear of failure, including how it drove an obsession with consumer insights that made Coach unique in the industry.

A riveting, candid business memoir, Bag Man traces an extraordinary leadership journey that built a legacy brand.
