IBM Redux: Lou Gerstner & the Business Turnaround of the Decade

While, unfortunately, Gerstner failed to fix succession problems the work he did is phenomenal. IBM was destroying itself in a death spiral and this was fixed. Currently IBM has “stumbled once again” and is becoming irrelevant. However, during the time of THIS book collapse was almost inevitable and was a forerunner of other corporate threats to the economy. There was a lot of help - Jerry York was a major player who’s time was cut way to short and IBM’s brand was unbelievably strong (like all of the FAANG companies combined) it’s funny how successes are eventually lost to history. The story, like IBM are fading into history but the lessons are work described are still relevant, useful and interesting

I'm guessing this was released 15 years before Lou Gerstner's memoirs about Dancing Elephants. This is 2 orders of magnitude better than what Gerstner has to offer.
