Since Sam Walton's death in 1992, Wal-Mart has risen from the largest retailer to the top spot on the Fortune 500 list as the largest company worldwide. Don Soderquist, who served as senior vice chairman during this period, was instrumental in this success. Sam Walton himself remarked on the long journey to bring Soderquist on board, ultimately recognizing him as a great chief operating officer. Soderquist oversaw key divisions such as real estate, human resources, information systems, logistics, legal, corporate affairs, and loss prevention, all while adhering to his Christian values and Wal-Mart's unique management style. According to Discount Store News, Soderquist embodied the principles of the company's culture more than any executive since Walton. In his account, Soderquist details his role in transforming a $43 billion company into one exceeding $200 billion. While many have written about Wal-Mart's success, few have captured the insights of those directly involved. The company's ascent was not solely due to "Everyday Low Prices" and efficient distribution; rather, its core values rooted in Judeo-Christian principles, upheld by leaders like Soderquist, were fundamental to its remarkable achievements.
