Most businesses are mediocre at best, but a small percentage stand out as exceptional. One thing distinguishes one type from the other - the management. In 1997, Apple was on the brink of collapse with less than 90 days of cash flow remaining, yet today it stands as one of the greatest businesses on the planet. The pivot occurred when Steve Jobs took over from John Sculley. The same company, with different management, produced dramatically different outcomes. Similarly, while most airlines struggle with profitability and often succumb to bankruptcy, Southwest Airlines achieved 40 years of uninterrupted profitability, making it best in class by a country mile. Its secret was Herb Kelleher, its brilliant and unconventional CEO. This pattern repeats in every industry from freight, textile mills and car rentals, to tire-fitting, technology and fashion. This book unravels the golden threads that run through all of these wonderful businesses.
