This occurred several days ago after I had clicked on a C Span interview of the new GM CEO. The automotive giant, GM was on its back, bankrupt, when this new CEO, referred to as Dan took over.
Apparently, Dan had left a fortune on the table at his previous employer, Carlyle, in order to assume the CEO position at General Motors. With the help of loans from the US Federal Reserve, he was able to put GM back on its feet and restored its world leadership role in the automotive industry. Remarkably, however, this was done with a concern, not only for the welfare of GM, but also for the welfare of the planet. He paid attention to the threat of global warming and created a desirable line of electric cars.
It was gratifying to listen to this CEO his concern for the future and welfare of our world as well as for GM profits. I was particularly impressed when he expressed his desire to leave this world as a better place for mankind. Thank you Dan for that inspiring interview.
