All careers, even great ones, come to an end. The retail industry has provided more than its share of past CEOs who led exemplary lives to go along with great careers. During Kenneth Macke's tenure ...as CEO of Target Corp, he led a groundbreaking fight against corporate raiders, bought the Marshall Field's chain and solidified the Target chain's firm No. 2 position behind Wal-Mart in the massive discount space. He has never stopped being justifiably proud of what he accomplished or what he stood for. Another man who deserves to be proud of his legacy is Glen Shank, the CEO of Duckwall-ALCO. He led the company through a subsequent bankruptcy and made the company a survivor where many others had died. While criticisms can be made of their performances as CEOs, no one can ever accuse them of not living the example in terms of doing the right thing for the team.
