??? 斯坦普爾是一位忠誠的戰(zhàn)士，直到一場大衰退幾乎把通用汽車逼到破產(chǎn)邊緣,，他才糾正了史密斯犯下的錯(cuò)誤,。最后，當(dāng)他制定了改組計(jì)劃,，準(zhǔn)備付諸實(shí)施時(shí)卻又猶豫了,。在此期間，董事會(huì)對(duì)他失去信心,，導(dǎo)致他和他的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)團(tuán)隊(duì)在一場歷史性政變中集體下臺(tái),。17年后，通用汽車才在聯(lián)邦政府的幫助下進(jìn)行了調(diào)整,，控制住了費(fèi)用,。

6. Bob Stempel

CEO, General Motors

1990-1992

??? Stempel was the loyal soldier who couldn't bring himself to undo Smith's mistakes until a deep recession pushed GM close to the financial brink. When he finally produced a restructuring plan, Stempel dithered on actually executing it. In the process, he lost the confidence of the board of directors, who pushed him and his leadership team out in an historic coup. It would be another 17 years before GM resized itself and got its costs under control with the help of the federal government.
