The company is truly designed to exit the industry. My blog examines the track record of Rick Wagoner. It begs to question why does he still have his job? http://dontgiverickadime.blogspot.com GM’s management is a systemic problem. The company is truly designed to exit the industry.

Management seem to have recognized that the union is really their biggest stakeholder, but that hasn't kept them from continuing to drive drunk. I think all their top management has to go, and there is plenty of unemployed auto talent in Michigan and elsewhere to replace them. The problem of course goes beyond management to the very structure of the industry and the fact that finally we are all stakeholders in this disaster. Thanks for the kind words, TG!

Open the meetings to them... no doubt that the true innovative ideas lie within the people who build the cars. Bring the line workers into the board meetings. I think this blog is perhaps the best analysis of the GM's state that I've seen.
