The Seven Laws of Business that Made Chrysler the World's Hottest Car Company
Wiley, 1998
What's inside?
Former Chrysler president Robert A. Lutz offers sage business advice, including this gem: Teams are no different from any aggregation of humanity: The percentage of idiots remains constant.
Recommendation
Former Chrysler president and vice-chairman Robert A. Lutz proves that sometimes a corporate leader can write a terrific book (it just doesn’t happen very often). If Lutz ever decides to get out of the corporate arena entirely, he would make a fabulous comedian. Known as a colorful and brilliant leader ever since he turned Chrysler around in the early ’90s, he shares the ideas that saved the company as well as others he believes could help any organization succeed. Lutz is direct, holds nothing back and points out the lunacy behind most corporate decisions. getAbstract thinks of him as the Dennis Miller of corporate honchos. He fills his how-to book with plenty of examples from his Chrysler days, making it a provocative page-turner that any businessperson can relish.
