Bob’s Background

Early in the 1960s, when Bob joined the company, things were less complicated. Leaders understood that if they could grab the public's interest with imaginative automotive designs and high standards of craftsmanship, the money would follow.

General Motors prevailed thanks to its fearless, innovative leadership and enduring brands like Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, GMC, and Chevrolet. This changed when numbers began to rule, and bean counters gained control, prompting the automaker to rehire Bob in 2001.

He overcame this spreadsheet mentality by refocusing on the types of vehicles that people actually want: innovatively built automobiles and trucks. Bob's expertise helped General Motors emerge from bankruptcy and become strong again. Along with fascinating anecdotes, he provides practical business advice. As he writes:

“It applies in any business. Shoemakers should be run by shoe guys, and software firms by software guys, and supermarkets by supermarket guys. With the advice and support of their bean counters, absolutely, but with the final word going to those who live and breathe the customer experience. Passion and drive for excellence will win over the computer-like, dispassionate, analysis-driven philosophy every time.”
