The road to the top wasn't easy for Lee Scott. As a married college student with a young son, he worked fulltime and lived in a trailer. He says he learned that it's not about ego, but 'it's up to me to set standards, set an example and to sacrifice.' Scott joined Wal-Mart in 1979 and spent 16 years in logistics. A rapid string of promotions, beginning in 1995, culminated in his being named President and CEO of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. in 2000.
