"Le Herron was a visionary. He understood that profit was not a dirty work when communicating with a workforce. He sought the involvement and participation of all people in the organization through the use of the Associate Concept, a forward thinking employment relationship where people were held accountable for results and rewarded for their contributions. Through pro-active communications beginning at the top of the organization, Herron created a nurturing environment where people felt valued and responded in kind. Le Herron’s management style created "human resources" before that word became part of our everyday usage. Le was an icon within corporate management."

"During my years at Scotts, Le Herron redefined leadership. He taught that an essential part of the leadership equation is inspiring associates to take ownership of the organization and its values. His tools to accomplish that were openness, honesty, fairness, respect and gain sharing. I’ve yet to see this fundamental equation improved upon."
