  Is this supposed to be the same as Lee I-A-cocca ? I heard he came up with the 'diluted' form of the Mustang ( a real sqirrel-cage ), then left Ford. Went to Chrysler, may have helped the mini-van stuff there.
  
  A story is told that he did not get enough respect from his undergraduate instituition ( maybe masters ?? ) , he remembered this in later years and gave large financial support , when Chrysler GM, pointedly to another rival BigTen school. (some details may be off.)
  
  He may now be selling spaghetti sauce, marinara or something.

  There are two books on Iacocca by Iacocca.
  
  1.'Iacocca-An Autobiography'
  2.'Talking Straight'
  
  The former deals with the time that he was terminated from Ford and uplifted Chrysler.
  
  The later is about the Statue of Liberty and other hardships.
  
  Both books are good.
  
  But the autobiography is a 'must'.

  What does Lee Iococca have to do with Tamil or India? Why is it posted on this website? I am sure there are more appropriate ones for your request.

  Lets put it this way.
  
  Tamils/Indians discussing about International(English) literature in a Tamil Forum.
  
  Lee Iacocca has two books to his name. The second one is 'Talking Straight'.
  
  The autobiography is useful. It covers a very wide-range - motivation, striving against odds, 'never say die', fight on and achieve, etc.
  
  I first came across the book's name in a Tamil magazine. It was about the actress Lakshmi's interview. In that interview, she said that she read Iacocca's book at one sitting without putting it down.
  
  So I went all the way to Penang and bought it and read it.
  
  It was true. I also read it at one sitting. And I re-read it.
  
  As a manager, I found it useful. Very useful.

  I read both "Stright from the Guts" bt John. F. Welsh and Lee Ioccoca Autobiography. I think the latter one is more aggressive and more stright forward. Founder of quaterly apprisals which is followed by many companies.His explanation for the above is excellant and will be a viable solution to the Manager - Slave relationship and his thought towards team building and other team cooperation related thoughts are amazing. I think Lee is the man of honor.

  As a young child born to a lower middle class family struggling to eke out a living in a third world country, my reasonably literate parents taught me that reading maketh a man. Realistically, the prospects of our making it rich, without robbing the Bank, remained slim. Still, I loved to read and in an old-old second hand book store, owned by an old-old man, in an old-old part of the town, I bought a book for 10 cents that changed my life. It was by Lee Iococca, and stirred up a quest for achievement which led me up a path in life few of my contemprories could match. And, I did not need to rob the Bank.
  I would recommend this to the youngsters who read his writings. There is much to be learnt from him, delivered in a style that is understandable by even the brain damaged. So read him, and practice at least five things from his teachings. You WILL be thankful you did. His books will be something you want top leave for your children.

  Is Lee Iacocca still living? I was at a dinner meeting last week and the speaker was introduced as having shared the microphone with such people as "the late" Lee Iacocca.
  When did he die?

  I, too, am in need to find someone who could furnish me some information about the great LEE IOCOCCA. Last I heard was that he went partners with someone who own golf carts and produce small electric cars for neighborhood driving only but not for freeways. I am sincere in getting in touch with him concerning his EV projects and how it will benefit him. I'd like to discuss with him projects on boats, trains, big rigs etc. in pure electric.

  The website is very confusing. Iacocca is a person who inspires every sales man in every field. You should be more descriptive about his breakthoughs and failures.
