Synopsis
As former president of the Ford Motor Company and later of Chrysler (whose fortunes he turned around dramatically), Lee Iacocca is an American legend, and an undisputed leader in his field. In WHERE HAVE ALL THE LEADERS GONE?, Iacocca is severely critical of the quality of leaders in business and government, saying they lack a sense of responsibility. Poor leaders harm their companies and the industry, and their bad decisions impact on the nation's economy and on America's standing worldwide. He presents a test, based on qualities he looks for in leaders, all which begin with the letter C: curiosity, character, courage, conviction, etc. , and he evaluates the announced or expected presidential candidates for 2008 accordingly. He also speaks out about America's trade deficit, fair trade, China and India, and America's place in the world; and he addresses domestic issues such as how greed and corruption undermine the public's trust in business. Iacocca tells many fascinating stories (including one about the biggest mistake he ever made--which ultimately led to the fall of Chrysler). He brings the voice of experience to what he clearly sees is a current leadership crisis, and he urges Americans to take action., As former president of the Ford Motor Company, and later of Chrysler (which he turned around), Lee Iacocca is an American legend, and an undisputed leader in his field.
