Edward Whitacre Jr Quotes

At AT Picture Quote #1
Find your passion is in life, and do what you can to integrate that into your work life. That’s not to say you won’t have occasional frustrations in your job - that just goes with the territory - but at least you’ll feel better inside, and that, over time, will mean more to you than you might think Picture Quote #1
I started at GM knowing very little about that particular business. Not being an expert means you have to learn everything, starting from the basics Picture Quote #1
My goal in coming to General Motors was to help restore profitability, build a strong market position and position this iconic company for success. We are clearly on that path Picture Quote #1
None of us has control over the economy, the job market, or anything else in the global sense. But we are 100% in charge of how we respond to challenges that come our way, be it the loss of a job, a career derailment, or some other disappointment Picture Quote #1
TARP is funded by taxpayers, so there are many rules about how that money can and can’t be used. The result: GM spends an awful lot of time checking in with the people who administer TARP over everything from hiring to executive compensation and management. For a global company, that adds up to a lot of distraction Picture Quote #1

When I got to GM they were using a matrix method of management which means everybody has more than one boss. I first heard about that system many years ago. It’s supposed to help with collaboration, but my assessment is that it’s pretty hard to get geared for action that way Picture Quote #1
When I went into GM there was a lack of morale. The company had gone bankrupt and the people who worked there were embarrassed. Underneath all of, though, there was a will to show what they were capable of, but nobody knew exactly what to do Picture Quote #1
I’m a pretty average guy and want to keep a low profile. I don’t want the world necessarily to know about me Picture Quote #1
I don’t know anything about cars. A business is a business, and I think I can learn about cars. I’m not that old, and I think the business principles are the same Picture Quote #1
Be willing to step outside your comfort zone once in a while; take the risks in life that seem worth taking. The ride might not be as predictable if you’d just planted your feet and stayed put, but it will be a heck of a lot more interesting Picture Quote #1

No partnership between two independent companies, no matter how well run, can match the speed, effectiveness, responsiveness and efficiency of a solely owned company Picture Quote #1

I’ve been accused many times of not talking very much, but I guess I don’t believe in talking things to death. You can talk too much on most anything and it stops being productive. There is a time for action. Eventually you have to pull the trigger Picture Quote #1
