Harold W. McGraw, Jr., Chairman Emeritus and Former CEO, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Died at His Home This Morning
Mr. McGraw continually reminded his managers that McGraw-Hill's mission was to educate and inform. "I like to feel that we have been, and still are, would-be educators at heart," he often said.
These values led to record-setting results in his eight years as CEO with the company. Under Mr. McGraw, the company's revenue more than doubled and earnings per share more than tripled. This performance set the stage for future innovations that have changed the way the world does business and educates its people. The same values guided Mr. McGraw's steadfast commitment to philanthropy. Over the years, he helped significantly improve the lives of the less fortunate through his leadership and generous personal support of numerous education and literacy programs.
