In 1993, IBM was dying.
$8 billion in losses, the largest in American corporate history.
Analysts said, break it up.
Sell it for parts.
The talent is gone.
The culture is toxic.
The elephant is too big, too slow, too stuck to survive.
They were wrong.
One man walked into that disaster and saw something no one else could see.
He didn't fire everyone.
He didn't blow it up.
He kept most of the same managers who presided over the collapse and turned them into the leaders of one of the greatest corporate turnarounds in the history of America.
How?
He changed the system, not the people, the system.
And that lesson, the lesson that IBM taught the business world 30 years ago is the exact same lesson the healthcare industry today is in dire need of.
Welcome back to Bread to Lead.
And in this episode, things may be a little bit different.
We're going to try for the rest of this season, rather long season, for full video.
If you want to see the full actual video of the podcast or class, as we call it, you can go to our YouTube at Dr. Jake Taylor Jacobs on YouTube.
And we're excited to show more of a visual aspect of the show in my office at our research and training institute, our headquarters here.
