Amazing Story

I just read a great article this week about Alan Mulally, Ford CEO and Automobile magazine's Man of the Year. What caught my eye was the title, "The man at the helm of America's last remaining independent car company". What a statement, and a true one as well. Think about it, both GM and Chrysler accepted TARP money, but Ford did not.

The article talked about how Mullaly made himself famous with the media when he responded "I think I'm OK where I am when congress asked the big three CEOs if they were willing to work for a dollar a year. What many people don't realize is that Mulally did take a 30% pay cut, and said he would work for $1 per year if Ford did take money from the government.

Just tells you a little about Ford's mentality, and how they're moving forward and will be a force to be reckoned with. Removing the Jaguar, Land Rover, Aston Martin brands was smart. Now Ford is focusing on Ford where is should be and it's exciting to be working for Ford right now.
