About the Book

Ted spells out a personal career model which says, "Anyone can do it." Whether you've got a high school degree or an MBA from Wharton, you can learn from Ted and his book.

-Jim Owens, President and CEO H.B. Fuller Company

Shipping Clerk to CEO reads like a genuine passing of the business torch to a younger generation eager to cut its teeth outside the classroom.

Businessman Ted Clark makes a compelling argument that educating oneself while on the job is a viable strategy that requires only curiosity, tenacity and good instincts for acquiring useful knowledge and a leadership mindset. Starting as a forklift driver and warehouse clerk, Clark climbed the corporate ladder against the odds to become CEO of a $240 million company at age 42. In his debut book, Shipping Clerk to CEO, Clark shares 15 critical lessons that any ambitious person can use to turbocharge their career.

In this book, Clark tackles subjects like:

  • What makes underdogs succeed?
  • How can you avoid the "experience trap"?
  • What does it take to think on your feet?
  • How do you mend broken work relationships?
  • How do you manage workers twice one's age?

Shipping Clerk to CEO is chock-full of personal stories, information-loaded sidebars, and visionary takeaways.

In this book, you'll discover:

  • The subtle difference between creating change and adapting.
  • Why we're all salesmen and how to use that knowledge to your advantage.
  • When to "show your teeth" to gain respect.
  • How a "power walk" can revolutionize your work presence.
  • And what it really takes to succeed as CEO.

Building on his first principle--have a reason--Clark sets the tone like a charismatic mentor rooting for the success of underdogs everywhere. Entertaining and clever, his parables, self-assessment, and business tactics pave the way for a younger generation eager to cut its teeth outside the classroom.


About the Author: Theodore (Ted) Clark is a businessman, entrepreneur, and investor with over 40 years' experience as a senior executive in both public and private equity owned specialty chemicals companies. Starting as a shipping clerk, he rose through the ranks to become President & CEO of Products Research & Chemical Corporation (PRC), a global leader in aircraft and construction sealants and coatings. As President & CEO, Ted led PRC to annual sales growth of 8% and annual profitability growth of 20% and led the sale of PRC to PPG Industries in 1999. He then joined Burke Industries, a manufacturer of fabricated silicone and synthetic rubber, as President & CEO and led them through a successful restructuring and then led the sale of its aerospace & defense business, ensuring the independence of its profitable construction products business. In 2003, Ted co-founded Royal Adhesives & Sealants and built it through 19 acquisitions into one of the top 10 adhesives and sealant companies in the world. In 2017 he led the sale of Royal to H.B. Fuller, a NYSE listed company, and remained as Chief Operating Officer to lead the integration of Royal and the reorganization of H.B. Fuller from five business units to three global business units. He is also an investor and has served as a director of four private-equity-backed specialty chemical companies. Today, Ted consults with business managers on acquisitions and growth strategies using private equity capital.
His book Shipping Clerk to CEO - The Power of Curiosity, Will, and Self-Directed Learning chronicles his journey from an inexperienced high school graduate starting as an entry-level shipping clerk at 19 years old to his rise at 42 years old to CEO and what he and his team achieved in the five years he led PRC and the lessons he learned along the way.
