The Other Motorola

摘要

In mid-2008 Motorola was in trouble, and CEO Greg Brown was miserable. His mobile phone business was sagging, hurt by the Apple iPhone, and struggling to respond. The economy was sinking into recession. And he needed to figure out how to split up Motorola to placate shareholders like Carl Icahn. The stress gave Brown insomnia. At 3 a.m. one night his wife found him pacing around their house. "I said, *You won't believe what needs to be done to have Motorola come out of the other end of the tunnel,'" Brown recalls. His wife's response: Focus on the 65,000 Motorola staffers who expected him to lead them back to the light.
