Ask people in Washington or on Wall Street who they want to see running General Motors Co. and the answer is the same: another Alan Mulally. Without any experience in the auto industry, he ended Ford's decade-long decline in U.S. market share, changed its notoriously careerist corporate culture and secured enough financing to allow it to weather the economic crisis without resorting...

... the GM boss also is poised to unofficially teach GM a new language, much like Ford Motor Co. CEO Alan Mulally did after arriving in Dearborn three years ago. Expect Whitacre-speak to be heavy on no-nonsense facts, with a premium on clarity, simplicity and accountability — the antithesis of an inbred GM lingo that evolved in recent years from an ’80s-era patois but never really died....

Car guys know exactly what’s wrong with GM: car guys like them aren’t running the show. Otherwise, every Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac would look “great” (no need to be more specific) and dust the competition. Hence Bill Ford’s decision to hire Alan Mulally to take over as CEO came as [...]

... the auto business works–and he may well be right. But I remember how similar things were said of Alan Mulally (who came from Boeing), and he certainly stirred up Ford in a good way. Here are my thoughts. First, I was up in GM’s Tech Center just after Henderson took over. And I could tell that at least at the product level, Henderson had a great deal of support.

... be better off with Fritz or with an outsider, as Ford had done in bringing in Boeing executive Alan Mulally. While nervous about whether Fritz could bring the change GM desperately needed, I was considerably more nervous about the likelihood of recruiting a thoroughbred CEO in the midst of the turmoil.” I guess I’ll never find out now.

... company’s management team. One person close to the situation said Whitacre may be looking for an Alan Mulally-type CEO. The former Boeing executive turned Ford Motor Co. around. He has brought few outsiders in and mostly runs the company with long-time Ford executives. Henderson was in good spirits and was returning e-mails, officials said.
