Description
New York Times bestselling author William D. Cohan discusses his latest book Power Failure. Bill interviewed three of the last four CEOs of General Electric, among many other insiders, to get a first hand account about the demise of General Electric. Under new leadership, the once corporate colossus is a mere shadow of what it was at its' peak under CEO Jack Welch in the 1980s and 1990s. Bill's very readable book is a corporate autopsy of what went wrong at GE and why. It should be required reading for any student of corporate management and any investor .
