Scott

"More than anything else, Weinstock came to admire Scott’s skills as a valuer of property and businesses. He had an instinct for making quick valuations which rarely let him down, whereas it would take Weinstock, equipped with all the tools of the trade, including valuation tables and plans, far longer. Observing Scott’s business techniques, like the other skills Weinstock had picked up from mentors at school and in the Admiralty, was an essential part of the learning process for a business career which would soon advance rapidly. Within a decade Louis Scott would be assigned by his former assistant, now managing director of one of Britain’s biggest manufacturers, to handle the General Electric Company’s property needs."

"Loyalty, not sentiment. Practicality, not theory. Amundsen the quiet winner who shaved down his wooden sled to half its original weight; not Scott the dead hero, overburdened with useless gear."
