I;m not saying that its just that there are so many “Suits and Ties” in Management positions or even on Boards who are “academics” who are more interested in when they are getting their next “performance” bonus and how big its going to be..
Tthey don’t care about the workers or the cars they build Nor do they know or particularly care about the ramifications that their decision or indecison could have

Whereas I beleive the “ideal” CEO of any copany in any industry is one that either has a genuine interest in or is passionate about what their company does.
There are a few of them around and most of them have worked their way up through the company from the factory floor – and as a result their businesses are doing better than others

Its almost as though the number of letters [acronyms] you have after your name are more important than what you actally know or what practical experience you have in the industry

Wheelnut Says: ”
I was just reading the article and when I got to the bit where it said: “The new CEO of GM is a industrial engineering graduate from Texas Technological University.”
I though Ohsh!t – the last CEO of GM was an academic with very little knowledge or experience of the automotive leadership not to mention “the outside world” and look what happened to GM under his so called leadership.”

So I spouse an ideal GM CEO would be a car washer… I mean detailer such as your self!!

I wonder how a snot such as your self can judge any CEO on
“knowledge or experience of the automotive leadership not to mention “the outside world” “

“The bankruptcy will allow Old GM to sell its most valuable assets to New GM, leaving most liabilities with the old legal entity.”

Which most likely means that Old GM will sell “Holden” to the New GM thereby making Holdens future more stable/assured.. not to mention annoy the hell out of a number of so called Australians on this site :-)

GM must be worth a bit if 50 billion is considered to be 60%……….
