Iacocca. Eine amerikanische Karriere Audiobook

'Der Mann, der den Ford Mustang schuf', 'Der legendäre US-Automobilmanager' - Lee Iacocca erzielte außergewöhnliche Erfolge, aber sein Leben war voller Prüfungen und Enttäuschungen. Lido (Lee) Anthony Iacocca, 1924 als Sohn italienischer Einwanderer in Allentown, Pennsylvania, geboren, trat im Alter von 22 Jahren nach seinem Ingenieurstudium bei Ford ein. Hier vollzog sich in rascher Folge seine Traumkarriere bis zum Präsidenten dieser Gesellschaft. 1978 wurde er aus persönlichen Gründen von Henry Ford II. gefeuert, vom konkursreifen Chrysler-Konzern, dem drittgrößten Automobilunternehmen der USA, engagiert. Er übernahm die mit 3,5 Milliarden Dollar hoffnungslos verschuldete Firma, die unter seiner Leitung so viel wie noch nie in ihrer Firmengeschichte verdiente. Mehr als nur ein erfolgreicher Wirtschaftsboss war Iacocca ein kluger politischer Kopf, der laut amerikanischen Meinungsumfragen gute Chancen hatte, 1988 Präsident der USA zu werden. Lee Iacocca ist am 2. Juli 2019 im Alter von 94 Jahren gestorben. In seiner Autobiographie tauchen wir tief ein in sein Leben, und erfahren: - persönliche Geschichte der Managerlegende; - Lee Iacoccas Erfolgsprinzipien; - wie wichtig Mut ist: Mut, Risiken einzugehen und eigene Träume zu leben. 'Wenn Sie hart arbeiten und sich richtig ins Zeug legen, ist es erstaunlich, wie Sie in einer freien Gesellschaft so weit kommen können, wie Sie wollen.' - Lee Iacocca Dieses Buch erschien im englischen Original unter dem Titel Iacocca: An Autobiography Copyright (c) 1984 by Lee Iacocca.

Iacocca: An Autobiography

He's an American legend, a straight-shooting businessman who brought Chrysler back from the brink and in the process became a media celebrity, newsmaker, and a man many had urged to run for president. The son of Italian immigrants, Lee Iacocca rose spectacularly through the ranks of Ford Motor Company to become its president, only to be toppled eight years later in a power play that should have shattered him. But Lee Iacocca didn't get mad, he got even. He led a battle for Chrysler's survival that made his name a symbol of integrity, know-how, and guts for millions of Americans. In his classic hard-hitting style, he tells us how he changed the automobile industry in the 1960s by creating the phenomenal Mustang. He goes behind the scenes for a look at Henry Ford's reign of intimidation and manipulation. He recounts the miraculous rebirth of Chrysler from near bankruptcy to repayment of its $1.2 billion government loan so early that Washington didn't know how to cash the check.

Where Have All the Leaders Gone?

The most widely recognized business executive of all time asks the tough questions that America's leaders must address: What is each of us giving back to our country? Do we truly love democracy? Are we too fat and satisfied for our own good? Why is America addicted to oil? Do we really care about our children's futures? Who will save the middle class? Lee Iacocca believes that leaders are made in times of crisis -- such as today. He has known more leaders than almost anybody else -- including nine U.S. presidents, many heads of state, CEOs of the nation's top corporations, celebrities, and even a pope -- and is uniquely suited to share his wisdom, knowledge, and wit about the leadership of America. Lee Iacocca does not mince words, and in Where Have All the Leaders Gone? he offers his no-nonsense, straight-up assessments of the American politicians most likely to run for president in 2008. He also shares his lessons learned, and issues a call to action to summon Americans back to their roots of hard work, common sense, integrity, generosity, and optimism. Where have all the leaders gone? Lee Iacocca has the answer.
