Three top Wall Street analysts reveal enduring lessons in sustainable success from the great industrial titans-the high-tech companies of their day-to the disruptors that now dominate the economy. Before Silicon Valley disrupted the world with new technologies and business models, America's industrial giants paved the way. Companies like General Electric, United Technologies, and Caterpillar were the Google and Amazon of their day, setting gold standards in innovation, growth, and profitability. Today's leaders can learn a great deal from their successes, as well as their missteps. In this essential guide, three veteran Wall Street analysts reveal timeless lessons from the titans of industry-and offer battle-tested survival tactics for an ever-changing world.
