My Take
Dick DeVos is a figure I approach with a skeptic's eye, given that he inherited the Amway empire from his father. Yet steering a sprawling multi-level marketing operation as CEO for nearly a decade is no small task, inheritance or not. What intrigues me more is his 2006 run for Governor of Michigan, a gamble he did not need to take from a position of comfort. I tend to respect people who choose offense over safety, and whatever one makes of his politics or business, he has clearly opted for a restless, contested life rather than a quiet one.
