Albert Vincent Casey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Vincent Casey (1920 February 28 - 2004 July 10) was a former United States Postmaster General, publisher of The Los Angeles Times, and an attendee of the notorious Bohemian Grove. He received two degrees from Harvard University.
Positions held:
- President of Times Mirror Company
- CEO of American Airlines (1974-1985)
- Director of American Airlines
- President and CEO of Resolution Trust Corporation President
- Distinguished Executive at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
He was a member of the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors from 2002 August until his death.
A well-known aphorism is "Casey's Law": If Something Can Go Right It Should. The phrase is also the title of Casey's business auto-biography, published in 1997.
Casey believed in management by a group of four: he claimed that any business should consist of "a person to make the stuff, a person to sell the stuff, a bean counter to keep score, and the boss."
