The auto CEOs traveled in their corporate jets to D.C. Imagine those corporate PR group meetings where the appearances were planned. Some brave soul probably thought and maybe even said - at some risk - "It would look awful if the boss went to Washington in the G-4. Let's suggest he fly commercial." The thought was either unspoken or shot down. "Who'se going to tell him to do that? Not me!" Fast forward to the review meetng after the boss returned. There was surely hell to pay.
Anxious organizations are gridlocked. Clear thinking, problem solving and courageous speaking are casualties. Thinkers stop thinking. Unless leaders in the auto industry learn to calmly face their own reality, financial success is unlikely.
