This is somehow completely obvious to me and also leaves me with less understanding of what my boss wants from our meeting.

This is a great supplement for people who are fascinated by how "Working Together" transformed Boeing and Ford Motor Company and brought them back in black despite the seemingly insurmountable challenges these organizations faced both internal and external specially when they are faced simultaneously (Boeing had 9/11 and Ford had 2008 financial crisis) still they managed to emerged victorus.

For anyone trying to read this book without going through some pre-reads of what happened at Ford i.e. American Icon or other sources on both Ford and Boeing this would not make sense much or feel too obvious. But its a great guide to give you sketch of the things specially if you work for organizations where you face constant volatility and market shifts.

This is a good book and a very easy read. If you are trying to understand Mulally’s management system, you can easily finish reading the book in about 45-60 minutes. Don’t expect great detail though; it is an overview.

Quick, practical outline of the Mulally management process. A good companion to the book American Icon.
