Decades ago, General Electric Company experienced a meteoric rise that leaders throughout the world sought to emulate. Textbooks and talking heads attributed the company's growth and success to ingenuity, innovation, and industrial prowess. Managers were revered. Practices were replicated. Strategies were heralded and imitated to the fullest extent possible. What's less well understood is how the company fell from grace. In Power Failure, esteemed financial journalist William D. Cohan explores the cracks in the foundation that were largely overlooked by the masses too focused on the company's towering successes. Blind spots, hubris, and avoidable mistakes are some of the many areas he explores in this comprehensive assessment. |
