Edward Whitacre is the former CEO of General Motors. He has a background in telecommunications, running AT&T, but came out of retirement to save GM.
A CEO memoir worth reading. -- The Economist
Among CEOs, Ed is one-of-a-kind. Not only did he successfully run
AT&T and fix GM, but he is also a classic Texan -- complete
with a straight-speaking manner and common touch that truly sets
him apart. Here is his uniquely American story. Everyone who starts
this book will finish it. -- Roger Altman, Founder and Chairman,
Evercore Partners; former Deputy Treasury Secretary
Ed is a strong leader with intelligence, a big heart, common sense
and without fear. He is also an exceptional human being-always
concerned about people. His mind is clear with a long-term vision
and mission. --Carlos Slim Helú, Industrialist and
Philanthropist
Very inspiring, down to earth leadership lessons and very
consistent with our experience with Ed during his time at GM. He
always respected our members and never blamed them for what he
strongly viewed as poor management. --Bob King, UAW President
This straight-talking Texan and former CEO of two of America's best
known corporations provides a candid, insider's view of how a
committed business leader can make a difference. More importantly,
his book offers a prescription for the kind of leadership that can
turn America around and get the country moving again. --Senator Kay
Bailey Hutchison
