A Sportsman's Life: How I Built Orvis by Mixing Business and Sport. By Leigh Perkins with Geoffrey Norman.
When Leigh Perkins acquired Orvis in 1965, it was a quiet fly-fishing and bird-hunting outfitter with sales stuck at $500,000. Over the next three decades, Perkins revolutionized the catalog retail industry and reshaped Orvis's traditional culture, boosting annual sales to an astounding $100 million. He achieved this by blending his deep love for nature with sharp business instincts, applying the practical wisdom gained from streams and hunts directly to his boardroom decisions.
