"It cites a lack of urgency in the culture and, as GM CEO Mary Barra described it, "a pattern of incompetence." It blames an unwillingness of those in the know to reconsider their conclusions, and a dizzying number of committees with little clear accountability."

Just typical liberal/leftist Obama/Democrat Party standard operating procedure. But their intentions are good you know.

What do you think euphemisms like “gay”, “LBTGSTQEIEIO”, and “Common Core” are? They’re rhetorical red herrings, disguises, makeup for monstrosities, designed not to communicate but to obfuscate.

If that culture destroyed GM, what’s it doing to our government? The media? Our universities?

GM's problem was cultural.

They failed to change it and it takes 3 years to change a corp. culture.

That takes leadership and a consistent leader, they kept playing musical chairs with their CEO's and what was their vision?

Now compare that with Ford and Mulally's "One Ford" vision, and their results...

I can't stand it when I hear the word 'standpoint' used.

Old way of saying things: Lets save .57 cents and kill or injure hundreds of people so we can make some bonus money.

Suspiciously, extensions of academic jargon.

See Edward Tufte’s booklet “The Cognitive Style of Powerpoint” Same sort of thing at NASA leading up to the loss of the Challenger.

Try going into ANY organization and telling the executives that they are the problem. All focus comes off the business and they focus on destroying you. GM is a dead man walking.
