    Mulally: Visit to Toyota wasn't overture to competitor

    I don't disagree, but isn't it a bit shocking to hear this from the head of Ford? It sure helps that CEO Mulally comes from outside the industry, eh?

    1. Wow, Although I applaud this on his part & really admire him, part of me wonders how long he will last at Ford. One thing I do know is that leadership that has never worked anywhere else & has a lot of brand/loyalty to one company will not be very receptive to his comment of ‘seeing the worlds best’. It has been my experience the insiders only have a mirrored look at the world, when they think of the best they look in the mirror.
