SERGIO MARCHIONNE
From
Amazon:
The
leadership, the impossible challenges, the strategies, the secrets of the
manager who transformed Fiat into a global group
In
fourteen years, Sergio Marchionne increased the value of the group on the stock
exchange more than ten times. He transformed Fiat from an Italian company on
the verge of bankruptcy to a powerful global company. He attacked the markets.
He thought big. His choices, never taken for granted, exalted investors, but
they attracted him accusations such as that of having moved the center of
gravity of the company away from Italy and that of having trampled on the
rights of workers. Who was Sergio Marchionne, a visionary and divisive leader,
and what does it remain of his legacy? Tommaso Ebhardt — who chased him for ten
years from one end of the world to the other — portrays in this book a complex
figure, who gradually reveals himself to the journalist in swift jokes, several
professional occasions, and precious two-people meetings, with microphones
turned off. The story begins in December 2008 with the Chrysler operation; the
journalist reconstructs the historic milestones, the failed projects, Mr.
Marchionne’s leadership ... And he looks at what remains of FCA after Mr.
Marchionne’s tragic death. But above all, Mr. Ebhardt investigates the beliefs,
interests, and private feelings of a very reserved man, who nevertheless had
sometimes entrusted him with his thoughts, publicly recognizing him as
"his most affectionate stalker," and he tries to understand the
secret of Mr. Marchionne, who as an unknown outsider, became one of the most
successful managers on the international markets.
