Mr. Sloan was about 79 years of age during this interview, still sharp as a tack. One of the great visionary leaders a brilliant man who was way ahead of his time.
He was an innovative corporate manager, rationalizer, and skilled architect of corporate governance in the American automobile industry. In the 1920s, he keenly observed what stubborn, vain, and erratic Henry Ford did and set about to do the exact opposite at GM, which was good sense in that era. His ideas have not withstood the test of time, but I suspect that business schools still pay lip service to his nostrums.
Amazing how he knew back then, that those that chose to be Dealers were going to do well. And he was right! thousands of millionaires were made from then to today selling autos. Now they are mega conglomerates and horrible places to work.
@@GulfportHooligan Sure what would you like to know? My grandfather was hired by the foundation just as Sloan was put in charge of GM. He was involved with them, up to and after Sloans death in 1966. They wanted my grandfather to become president but he passed since he was retiring. My grandfather started the memorial Sloan Kettering hospital and also oversaw the startup of the Alfred P Sloan school of business at MIT. At the beginning of WW2 my grandfather donated Sloans yaght to the government for the war efforts, since they were planning on taking it anyway. By donating it first, they got a tax write off. I still have the binoculars from the ship. It was named Rene.
Over 60 percent of Americans did not want to go to war. Time magazine had a full color photo shoot in the mid thirties about the new socialist in Germany, The NAZIS !! They thought they saved the country from a horrible depression(which they did) and were a very interesting new Government. So Time magazine and 60 percent of America is guilty too !

Automatically recognized the name from PBS programs, never thought about looking him up. Salute to this informative channel for enlightening me!
Time travel 70 years ago! Thanks Mr. Sloan & the interviewer.
A very able man.
He was a genius.
And a collaborator with the Nazis
@@MrSkeeja He was a very wicked man.

Distinguished figures of our time
Managerial supreme leader
I wasn't expecting him to sound so much like Elmer Fudd.
What could I do, but modern kids what can you do for me.
What happened to the Amazon interview in 1999? :(
Who cares
@@PontiacFan68 I honestly don’t remember what I was talking about lol
@@akzebraminer alright then
Sloan was a collectivist. Not a capitalist.
He was wrong.
Alfred P. Sloan was a wicked man.
blessed7fold no he wasn’t, he built the largest corporation in the world as brilliant man. To this day his money helps millions of people

I thought it was his belief that a company should care for it's workers.
