So long as TARP money is wrapped up in GM, the company will never shake its 'Government Motors' image. That label, as competitors and GM employees are keenly aware, is code for one thing: 'GM is a failure'.
Edward Whitacre, Jr.I find people to be people everywhere. Everyone wants the same thing - be successful.
Edward Whitacre, Jr.At AT&T, I learned an awful lot about people, and how important it is to have the right people in the right jobs. And when I say 'right people,' I'm not talking about their college degree or work history; I'm talking about things like bearing - How does this person interact with other people? Can he or she talk to you and not tick you off?
Edward Whitacre, Jr.I am honored to be able to serve GM at this critical juncture and take part in its reinvention.
