I don't direct you to "The Auto Industry Bailout: Thoughts About Why GM Executives Are Clueless And Their Destructive “No We Can’t” Mindset" by Bob Sutton in order to bash GM, but rather as an example of corporate culture that has, in my view, little chance of succeeding in the world of today and tomorrow.  Sutton's post identifies indicators of management failure to which we need to be alert.

Are any of these apparent in your organization?

"Ford’s Most Advanced Assembly Plant (Rural Brazil)" is a video also related to the current troubles in automobile manufacturing in the US.
