Lutz Has Left the Building – Bob says goodbye to GM

GM Vice-Chairman Bob Lutz

Friday was Vice Chairman Bob Lutz’s last day at GM.  He reflects on his time at GM and the auto industry in a FastLane blog:

“The American jazz legend Charles Mingus once said, ‘Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.’“That describes the approach the leadership of the new GM is taking perfectly.  This business isn’t all that complicated.  Do the best product you can do, and if it looks better and drives better than the other guy’s, you win.

“I only have about 47 years of experience on which to base this opinion, but I believe GM is poised to win.“
