The chairman of General Motors was chosen by having a bunch of executives from other companies spend a year touring the country, promising faster new cars with great gas mileage for lower prices. Attending monster truck rallies and Nascar races one day, solar scooter competitions the next. The current lower level GM executives would be touring too, but they would be campaigning on a platform of continuing to build the same great cars for another four years.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with the skills needed to run GM. Oh well.
