Finding in-plant managers who are under 40 proved a challenge.

By Bob Neubauer

Some who were young enough to take part were too shy to participate. Others were eager to be included—if only we'd done this a few years ago when they still qualified. (If we were profiling 40-somethings, I'd have had scores of volunteers.)

In the end, though, we were able to get the stories of 15 admirable men and women who have been working hard to make their in-plants successful. Most of them credited their past or present boss at the in-plant (or another print industry figure) for mentoring them and helping them succeed as a manager. This support is crucial to cultivate the next generation of in-plant managers, and it's something that all managers out there can take a lesson from.
