"Insights into the journalistic mindset, as well as keen observations about GM itself, are what make Sixty to Zero an enlightening and engaging read."--Paul Ingrassia, Wall Street Journal , "Taylor understands that the domestic car makers' troubles didn't begin a few years ago. To identify the seeds of their destruction, you have to go back decades and that's exactly what he has done. This is a smart, lively, and personal account of Detroit's crack-up."--Csaba Csere, Former editor-in-chief of Car and Driver, " Sixty to Zero is a penetrating and compelling account of how the icon of 20th century American business went bust within a decade of the new century. We witness close-up how General Motors' leaders stalled decisions, resisted ideas, flubbed execution, and otherwise repeated startling acts of ''driver error.'' For learning from one of the greatest unforced corporate failures of modern times, this is a vivid and definitive account."-Michael Useem, Professor of Management at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and author of The Leadership Moment and co-author of The India Way, " Sixty to Zero is a penetrating and compelling account of how the icon of 20th century American business went bust within a decade of the new century.

Synopsis
An award-winning journalist's insights into the auto industry, the decline of once-great companies, and the failures of management The collapse of General Motors captured headlines in early 2009, but as Alex Taylor III writes in this in-depth dissection of the automaker's undoing, GM's was a meltdown forty years in the making. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience and insight as an automotive industry reporter, as well as personal relationships with many of the leading players, Taylor reveals the many missteps of GM and its competitors: a refusal to follow market cues and consumer trends; a lack of follow-through on major initiatives; and a history of hesitance, inaction, and failure to learn from mistakes. In the process, he provides lasting lessons for every executive who confronts the challenges of a changing marketplace and global competition. Yet Taylor resists condemning GM's leadership from the privileged view of hindsight. Instead, his account enables the reader to see GM's decline through the eyes of an insider, with the understanding that corporate decision-making at a company as large as General Motors isn't as simple as it may seem. Taylor's book serves as a marvelous case study of one of the United States' premier companies, of which every American quite literally now holds a share.
