The inside story of the epic turnaround of Ford Motor Company under the leadership of CEO Alan Mulally.

At the end of 2008, Ford Motor Company was just months away from running out of cash. With the auto industry careening toward ruin, Congress offered all three Detroit automakers a bailout. General Motors and Chrysler grabbed the taxpayer lifeline, but Ford decided to save itself.

Under the leadership of charismatic CEO Alan Mulally, Ford had already put together a bold plan to unify its divided global operations, transform its lackluster product lineup, and overcome a dys-functional culture of infighting, backstabbing, and excuses. It was an extraordinary risk, but it was the only way the Ford family--America's last great industrial dynasty--could hold on to their company.

Mulally and his team pulled off one of the great-est comebacks in business history. As the rest of Detroit collapsed, Ford went from the brink of bankruptcy to being the most profitable automaker in the world. American Icon is the compelling, behind-the-scenes account of that epic turnaround.

In one of the great management narratives of our time, Hoffman puts the reader inside the boardroom as Mulally uses his celebrated Business Plan Review meet-ings to drive change and force Ford to deal with the painful realities of the American auto industry.

Hoffman was granted unprecedented access to Ford's top executives and top-secret company documents. He spent countless hours with Alan Mulally, Bill Ford, the Ford family, former executives, labor leaders, and company directors. In the bestselling tradition of Too Big to Fail and The Big Short, American Icon is narrative nonfiction at its vivid and colorful best.

A Must Read For Every Christian
Format: Kindle
I first learned of the author, Arthur Meintjes, from Andrew Wommack's ministries. After listening to several of Arthur's messages, which are available at his Kingdom Life Ministries' website, I decided to purchase his book. The Kindle version is easy to read between my computer and my phone. The message Arthur presents is clear, God is not angry with me. Arthur along with the Holy Spirit has replaced my vision of God as a stern Judge that I must obey into God the Father who loves me. Since performance is not required for His love, I now can rest easy in His presence. My life is now dedicated to getting to know the Father through the Son with the guidance of Spirit. AMEN! Arthur, thank you such a wonderful book. May the Lord continue to bless you.

This is one of the best books I have read in years
Format: Paperback
This is one of the best books I have read in years. Arthur Meintjes is a joyful teacher who concentrates here on the essence of the Gospel. You will loose your "religion" and gain your rightful relationship with your heavenly Father with a renewed understanding. As a pastor I highly recommend this to churches, small groups, pastors (in particular) and anyone teaching others. In fact I recommend it to anyone who does not feel comfortable with God the Father. You'll find through scripture that our Father God is not the angry being that is always half ready to kill us, or that barely tolerates us, and find that Jesus was the exact representation of our Father, and this is Good News. Highly Recommended.

Wonderful teaching on the relationship Gods the Father wants worth you; Jesus Christ as an example of that relationship—if you know Jesus, you know the Father and vice-versa. God the loving Father!
