Lights Out

Pride, Delusion, and the Fall of General Electric

Thomas Gryta and Ted Mann chronicle the decline of General Electric from one of America's most valuable and admired corporations into a much diminished company. Drawing on their reporting for The Wall Street Journal, they examine the leadership decisions, financial pressures, and corporate culture that shaped GE's troubles after Jack Welch's tenure. The book focuses especially on Jeff Immelt's efforts to manage and reform the company amid mounting strategic and financial problems.
