AMERICAN TURNAROUND Reinventing AT&T and GM and the Way We Do Business in the USA

Ed Whitacre’s management principles were honed over more than 40 years in the business world. Longtime CEO of AT&T, Whitacre was pulled out of retirement to take the reins at GM in 2009. He turned the company around, making it profitable again before retiring for a second time right before GM’s IPO. The Texas native delivers his own words with a deep drawl and a voice that makes him come across as both knowledgeable and inviting. While he lacks some of the polish of a professional narrator, his personality, as well as the depth of his experience, comes across loud and clear. It’s impossible to imagine any other narrator connecting as well with Whitacre’s style and message. E.N. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2013]
