Focus. It’s highly unlikely to find “humble” and “Fortune 500 CEO” in the same sentence. That rare combination can be found in Edward Whitacre, former CEO of both AT&T and GM. Any manager looking for a wise and thoughtful perspective from this successful CEO will enjoy reading Whitacre’s book, American Turnaround. In a folksy Texas conversational writing style, Whitacre describes how attention to focus and accountability leads to outstanding results. There’s no magic formula to success as a manager, from Whitacre’s point of view, just a lot of common sense, humility, and respect for others. With those elements in place, success follows, even in the situation of a challenging turnaround like General Motors.
