Writing in an exciting, fast-paced narrative style, Gerstner takes readers through his experiences at IBM—from the high-powered recruiting pressure to take the Chairman’s position, to first days on the job learning the strengths and weaknesses of IBM, to formulating and successfully implementing a turnaround strategy.

Filled with Gerstner’s personal insights as he explores the company’s strategy, and institutes changes that return the corporation to industry leadership, the readers will have unprecedented access to the mind of the CEO. Refreshing and candid throughout, Gerstner pulls no punches as he shows readers what he did and why he did it.
