Ed Whitacre is credited with taking over the corporate reins
at General Motors (GM) when the automotive manufacturer was
on the brink of bankruptcy during 2009 and turned the
company around in magnificent fashion. In this business
memoir, the native Texan explores his unique management
style, business acumen and patriotism. It was President Obama who reached out to Ed Whitacre to
come out of retirement and take over GM in 2009. A
down-to-earth, no-nonsense Texas native with a distinctive
Texas twang in his voice, Whitacre was reluctant to come out
of retirement to work at GM. But Whitacre is that rare CEO with great charisma and
extraordinary management instincts. And when he got to
Detroit, he started to whittle down the corporate
bureaucracy right away - and got GM back on track in record time Before being pulled out of retirement to run GM by Obama, Ed
Whitacre had spent his entire corporate career in the
telecom business, where he ultimately ended up running AT&T.
