A Journey of Insights draws upon the lessons James G. Ellis learned while a teacher and dean of USC’s Marshall School of Business as well as those he absorbed during his preceding years at Harvard Business School and in business. In trying to plot the roadmap for a successful business life, his stories show illustratively the secrets or ingredients of how business schools and their students can prosper. At the core of his message is the central theme that listening to voices around you throughout life is the key to success. In essence, ears can speak louder than voices.
Before entering academia, author James G. Ellis built a distinguished career in business. He served as President and CEO of Porsche Design's American operations and owned, operated, or partnered in multiple companies spanning retail, manufacturing, and distribution.
A graduate of Harvard Business School and the University of New Mexico, Ellis has received numerous honors for teaching, mentorship, and leadership, including USC's Golden Apple Award, the Teaching Has No Boundaries Award, and recognition as one of USC's most influential professors.
He remains active as a consultant, advisor, and board member, continuing to share insights from more than five decades in business and education.
Ellis and his wife, Dr. Gail Ellis, reside in Southern California. Together they have five children and twelve grandchildren.
