What is My Years With General Motors about?
“Deliberately to stop growing is to suffocate. . . . I put no ceiling on progress.” ~Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. Alfred P. Sloan began his career with General Motors little realizing that the automobile presented one of the greatest industrial opportunities of modern times. It was because of his genius and leadership that General Motors Corporation grew to be one of the largest corporations on Earth. My Years with General Motors tells Alfred P. Sloan's remarkable story. When Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., joined General Motors in 1918, it was a sprawling, loosely organized company heading toward severe financial and management crises. Two years later, after the resignation of president and founder W. C. Durant, Mr. Sloan and Pierre S. and Irénée du Pont assumed management responsibility and began to develop the delicate balance between centralized policy control and decentralized operational responsibility that made General Motors competitive in policy as well as in product. Mr. Sloan describes the evolution of the company's basic management policies and strategic concepts: the organization policy, the concept of financial control, and the product policy which revolutionized the automobile
