Main Reviews Book-Reviews Iacocca: An Autobiography Iacocca: An Autobiography By: Scott Manning January 19, 2002 - [ 31 comments Author: Lee Iacocca See it on Amazon Ever worked for the boss from hell? Ever had a job you wish you didn't have? You're unappreciated. The boss knows all and you don't know anything. Any of your great ideas are not only threatening to your boss, but they are shot down immediately. Ever stayed with this job until the boss fired you? If so, I would suggest you do what Iacocca did: become the owner of your x-boss's failing competitor, pull it out of bankruptcy in less than three years, make it the leading seller in the industry, and then threaten to buy out your x-boss's company. Lee Iacocca's story has inspired all who have heard it. He started working for Ford Motor Company in 1946. Included in his long list of accomplishments is the creation of the Mustang. Working his way to the top of the company, Iacocca was eventually fired over a power struggle with Henry Ford in 1978. Mad, discourage, but not beaten, Iacocca joined a failing company, Chrysler, as the President and CEO. Chrysler had just reported its worst earnings ever. | |
