Car Guys vs. Bean Counters by Bob Lutz

In 2001, General Motors hired Bob Lutz out of retirement with a mandate to save the company by making great cars again. He launched a war against penny pinching, office politics, turf wars and risk avoidance. After declaring bankruptcy during the recession of 2008, GM is back on track thanks to its embrace of Lutz's philosophy. Lutz's common sense lessons (with a generous helping of fascinating anecdotes) will inspire readers at any company facing the bean counter analysis-paralysis menace.

For over a half-century in the car business, Bob Lutz held high leadership positions at General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and BMW, culminating in his vice chairmanship of GM from 2001 to 2010. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Guts: 8 Business Rules and Car Guys versus. Bean Counters: The Struggle for the Spirit of American Business is a book about the battle for the soul of American business. He lives on the outskirts of Detroit.
