520    "Most successful leaders are mentally and emotionally 
       askew. There's a good side, which gets the job done. 
       There's often also a downside that makes them hard to 
       understand or difficult to work for. It's precisely that 
       they are impatient, stubborn, opinionated, unsatisfied, 
       and domineering that makes them successful." When Bob Lutz
       retired from General Motors in 2010, after an unparalleled
       forty-seven-year career in the auto industry, he was one 
       of the most respected leaders in American business. He had
       survived all kinds of managers over those decades: tough 
       and timid, analytical and irrational, charismatic and 
       antisocial, and some who seemed to shift frequently among 
       all those traits. His experiences made him an expert on 
       leadership, every bit as much as he was an expert on cars 
       and trucks. Now Lutz is revealing the leaders-good, bad, 
       and ugly-who made the strongest impression on him 
       throughout his career. Icons and Idiots is a collection of
       shocking and often hilarious true stories and the lessons 
       Lutz drew from them. From enduring the sadism of a Marine 
       Corps drill instructor, to working with a washed-up 
       alcoholic, to taking over the reins from a convicted felon,
       he reflects on the complexities of all-too-human leaders. 
       No textbook or business school course can fully capture 
       their idiosyncrasies, foibles and weaknesses - which can 
       make or break companies in the real world. Lutz shows that
       we can learn just as much from the most stubborn, stupid, 
       and corrupt leaders as we can from the inspiring geniuses.
       He offers fascinating profiles of icons and idiots such 
       as... Eberhard von Kuenheim. The famed CEO of BMW was an 
       aristocrat-cum-street fighter who ruled with secrecy, fear,
       and deft maneuvering. Harold A. "Red" Poling: A Ford CEO 
       and the ultimate bean counter. If it couldn't be 
       quantified, he didn't want to know about it. Lee Iacocca: 
       The legendary Chrysler CEO appeared to be brillant and 
       bold, but was often vulnerable and insecure behind the 
       scenes. G. Richard "Rick" Wagoner: The perfect peacetime 
       CEO whose superior intelligence couldn't save GM from 
       steep decline and a government bailout. As Lutz writes: 
       We'll examine bosses who were profane, insensitive, 
       totally politically incorrect, and who "appropriated" 
       insignificant items from hotels or the company. We'll 
       visit the mind of a leader who did little but sit in his 
       office. We'll look at another boss who could analyze a 
       highly complex profit-and-loss statement or a balance 
       sheet at a glance, yet who, at times, failed to grasp the 
       simplest financial mechanisms-how things actually worked 
       in practice to create the numbers in the real world. The 
       result is a powerful and entertaining guide for any 
       aspiring leader.
