A frank and detailed account of how Gerstner took charge of the grand old company at a time when it was struggling, and managed to turn it around. A great read for anyone landed with similar responsibilities in a company, big or small.
Leading a Great Enterprise through Dramatic Change
This is the classic history of the turnaround of IBM. If you know somebody working at IBM you should know this story.
It was interesting to read this as I spent almost a year working for IBM myself in 1998-99. It was interesting to read the story of people well above my pay grade and how they thought and what were the plans. He did visit during my tenure, but I was in training at the time so we missed him.
