Les Pockell had een levenslange honger naar kennis en deelde de opgedane wijsheid. Zijn uitgebreide kennis op diverse gebieden, van de overheid tot het particuliere bedrijfsleven, stelde hem in staat om terugkerende patronen en universele waarheden op de werkplek te observeren en te becommentariëren. In een tijdperk waarin alledaagse werkervaringen worden gedocumenteerd in de populaire cultuur en economische chaos de professionele expertise in twijfel trekt, bieden Pockells geschriften diepgaande inzichten in tijdloze zakelijke principes. Zijn aanstekelijke vitaliteit, sterke meningen en oogverblindende intellect lieten een blijvende indruk achter op velen die hem kenden.
