Frank Maguire’s Key Accomplishments Include . . .
Francis X. Maguire is one of corporate America’s most knowledgeable authorities on Corporate Culture, Productivity and Communications. As the original Senior Vice President of Industrial Relations for Federal Express, Maguire is acknowledged as creator of the corporate culture that made the company the multi-billion dollar success story of the past two decades. Frank was a key component on the management team that turned the phrase “absolutely, positively overnight” from a promise to a guarantee. Maguire’s ingenuity resulted in FedEx being named “The Top Corporation of the Decade” by Fortune Magazine. FedEx was also the first service company to be awarded the prestigious Malcolm Baldridge Quality Award.
But Maguire’s “firsts” and “absolutes” began long before he successfully marketed FedEx. As head of program development at ABC Radio Network, he hired Ted Koppel and Charles Osgood, giving them their first on-air broadcast jobs. While Koppel was eager, Osgood was not even sure he wanted to be in broadcasting! They both agree; Maguire knew best!
Still in his 20’s, Maguire served in the Executive Office of the President in Washington, D.C. under both John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Along with Sargent Shriver, Maguire was one of the five original task force members who created Project Headstart and Special Olympics. Frank left his mark on American Airlines international expansion as Director of Marketing and Public Relations Programs. The fast food revolution of the 1970’s has Maguire’s stamp on it, too, during his tenure as Vice President of Kentucky Fried Chicken during which time KFC was the fastest growing company on the New York Stock Exchange.
In addition to playing a mean jazz piano and accompanying the likes of B.B. King, Frank found time to earn a Ph.D. in Business Administration from Johnson and Wales University in Providence, RI.
