Guts
8 laws of business from one of the most innovative business leaders of our time - Revised and updated
Résumé
Praise for GUTS, Revised and Updated
Bob Lutz is the only man in history to rise to the top at all three Detroit automakers-Ford, GM, and Chrysler-and Guts reveals the kind of thinking that got him there. From a guy who didn't graduate from high school until he was twenty-two comes as good a business book as you will ever find, and one that applies in any industry. Go Bob, go.
Jerry Flint, Forbes columnist, and 2003 winner of a Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism
Bob has always been a charismatic leader, but he became a true businessman when he joined Chrysler. Guts is typical Lutz-it's controversial, thought-provoking and, in the final analysis, it makes good business sense.
Harold "Red" Poling, retired CEO, Ford Motor Company
Bob has the rare ability to communicate with everyone on the automotive ladder-from the engineer to the guy on the assembly line to the designer . . . even the idiotic Hollywood celebrity who just likes to go fast! And whether you're in the business of building washing machines or just writing jokes, Lutz's laws work.
Jay Leno, Hollywood celebrity and host of The Tonight Show
In a world in which managerial creativity and discipline have become polar opposites, Guts presents a dynamic synthesis of both forces that will enable readers to challenge the status quo and make their organizations far more competitive.
Stephen Girsky, Managing Director/Senior Global Automotive Analyst, MorganStanley
Guts is about business, leadership, and life, and reaches well beyond the boundaries of the auto industry. Lutz's laws of business, updated for today's leaders, are key ingredients to a twenty-first-century road map for success. And it's also a great read, delivered with the passion, integrity, and strength of character so important to making good things happen in a turbulent world.
David Cole, Chairman, Center for Automotive Research
I've known Bob Lutz for over thirty-five years, and Guts reflects all the qualities that have made him one of the great car guys of our generation. As always, he tells it like it is, and that's what makes his book such a compelling read.
