One Cannot Find A Healthy

For All The Progress, We Recognize We're Very Far From The Finish Line.

When I Joined Ford, In The Late 1970s, I Felt Strongly We Could Not Forever Be A Huge User Of Natural Resources Without There Being Consequences. But I Was Alone In My Thinking In Those Days.

One Of The Things I've Had The Advantage Of, Growing Up And Being Close To The Top Management Of This Company And Other Companies For Most Of My Life, Is Seeing How Ceos Start To Believe In Their Own Infallibility. And That Really Scares Me.

I Don't Ever Want To Believe My Own Press Clippings, Good Or Bad.

I Walked In And Inherited A Management Group That I Didn't Know Very Well. They Didn't Know Me, And We Had A Very Short Window To Put Together A Credible Recovery Plan.
