Guess you could say I was born to be a Competitor Intelligence Director (the job I retired from at GM).
But you are absolutely correct about the job of CEO versus the job of Product Development head (which Mary has done before). Mark Reuss leads Product Development and is in charge of product strategy and execution. Mary is responsible for balancing everything out and making the company as profitable as possible. I think both are doing an excellent job. |
Now where I do hold Marry accountable is the 6.2L debacle. From what I’ve read GM took no action until there were 30,000 known cases. I know how quality alerts/data works and what is available at the OEM level. GM knew they had a problem with less than 1,000 cases simply because they know the normal or expected failure rates for this and it simply had to have been flagged as highER. I certainly don’t blame Mary for the design or manufacturing issue, but I’m not sure this is being handled in a manner that instills GM as a company that not only builds quality but stands behind it when they fall down.
But hey! the stock hit a record high of over $70 per share, so back to her getting fired? lol nope. Stock holders are happy.
