商品描述媒体推荐“A standout…brimming with smart observations and fresh insights into Ford’s success.”–Alex Taylor,Fortune

 

“Fly-on-the-wall accounts of Mulally negotiating deals and Ford overcoming challenges from the inside and outside…A paean to the ingenuity, grit and optimism that once defined American industry and to capitalism played with government on the sidelines.”–Reuters

 

“A compelling narrative that reads more like a thriller than a business book.”–New York Times

 

“A must-read.”–Huffington Post

 

“A fascinating read for anyone who follows the car industry.”–Financial Times

“ADetroit Newsjournalist’s in-the-room account of the resurrection of America’s most storied car company…With colorful anecdotes, sharp character sketches, telling details and a firm understanding of the industry, Hoffman fleshes out every aspect of this tale, reminding us of the hard work, tension, and high-stakes drama that preceded the successful result.” —Kirkus

“Bryce Hoffman has done a stellar job of capturing the Ford story—and more to the point showing us how Mulally did it. American Iconis a story of leadership that offers valuable lessons for organizations of all sizes.”—Lee Iacocca

“Bryce G. Hoffman’sAmerican Icon

brilliantly recounts the Lazarus-like resurgence of the Ford Motor Company under the bold and inspiring leadership of CEO Alan Mulally. Hoffman, one of America’s best auto industry reporters, has written a timely book about the relevance of Ford that serves as a larger metaphor for America at large. Highly recommend!”—Douglas Brinkley, professor of history, Rice University, and author ofWheels for the World: Henry Ford, His Company, and a Century of Progress

 

“Bryce Hoffman has written a riveting tome based on deep insider information about the resurrection of the Ford Motor Company from a near death experience and the establishment of a business model that promises to be a prototype for large organizations of all types. It features the transformation from a top-down style of leadership to that of a coach led by CEO Alan Mulally whose focus is the team, the team, the team.”—David E. Cole, chairman emeritus, Center for Automotive Research

 

“From the precipitous demise of an American icon through decades of infighting and self-destructive management to a turnaround not only financial but also in terms of forging the foundation of a new, healthy culture, this book reads like an un-put-downable novel. Bryce Hoffman’s amazing inside access tells the story of how Alan Mullally built on Henry Ford’s own management principles—which quickly got lost in the company—and created one company, with one purpose and a passion for product and customers. A great story.”—Jeffrey Liker, professor, University of Michigan, and author ofThe Toyota Way

“Amazing. I would give Alan Mulally twelve D’s for his work at Ford, for Discipline, Data, Daring, Determination, Design, Direction, Decisiveness, Delivery, Doubt-Free, Debt Free, Downsizing, and of course, Dearborn.  I thought I was disciplined until I read how Mulally worked. Bryce is a gifted writer, andAmerican Iconis both educational and entertaining.  Most telling of all—I learned from reading this book.”—Lee Cockerell, former Executive Vice President, Walt Disney World Resort, and author ofCreating Magic

 

“After decades of stories about the failure of America’s traditional industries to meet world competition, it is heartening to encounter a signal success. But Bryce Hoffman’s rendering of how Alan Mulally reversed the fortunes of Ford Motor is more than heartening; it is riveting. Almost certainly one of the best business books of the year.”—H. W. Brands, professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin, and author ofTraitor to His ClassandThe First American

“This superbly reported book is not just about cars. It is an authoritative and inspiring account of leadership, management, corporate culture, and the prospects for American manufacturing.”—John Taylor, author ofStorming the Magic Kingdom
