Business Outlook
Pros
Employees passionate for the auto business. There is a new focus on accountability in the Company with and honest recognition that the old ways of doing business will not win the war. The Company appears to be less wed to the historical Ford legacy which is slower to evolve and address the changing industry. Over time, Ford will become less of a family legacy business, to a results driven business that doesn't mute strong leadership and drives differentiation from the competitors. Product design is starting to take a stronger role in the Company, but still a long way from being an industry leader.
Cons
Too much "Detroit think". Difficult to attract up and coming mid level talent during a time when the industry is in such turmoil.
