My Years with General Motors by Alfred Sloan

My Years with General Motors by Alfred Sloan

My Years with General Motors became an instant bestseller when it was first published in 1963. It has since been used as a manual for managers, offering personal glimpses into the practice of the "discipline of management" by the man who perfected it. This is the story no other businessman could tell--a distillation of half a century of intimate leadership experience with a giant industry and an inside look at dramatic events and creative business management.

Only a handful of business books have reached the status of a classic, having withstood the test of over fifty years' time. Even today, Bill Gates praises My Years with General Motors as the best book to read on business, and Business Week has named it the number one choice for its "bookshelf of indispensable reading."

Alfred P. Sloan Jr (1875-1966), the company's CEO and president, was a visionary leader in the early twentieth century. He was in charge of innovations like four-wheel brakes and ethyl gasoline in the automotive industry. In 1963, he published My Years at General Motors, a book about his time as CEO of the automaker.
