It's the leadership, stupid!By Nick, Section News
Before digging into this morning's news surrounding Chrysler's latest trip to bankruptcy court or digging into the details from yesterday's gubernatorial candidate "discussion" at the Mackinac Conference up north, do yourself a favor and swing over to the Detroit News and check out Daniel Howes latest column on the desperate need for long-absent leadership at the state level.
Go ahead. We'll wait... **twiddling thumbs** **checking watch** **looking out the window** Oh, hi. Welcome back. Howes wrote, in part:
Business knows this because successful business lives it, responding to changing conditions with dynamic management. Smart CEOs would look at the tale of GM, its predicament and see missed opportunities that, seized earlier, might have mitigated the today's pain. Alas, smart CEOs have been in short supply in Michigan's executive office for the last six-plus years. And if John Cherry's decision yesterday to duck the quasi-debate candidate forum up on the Island is any indication, the next two years won't bring us many bold or broad strokes either. But that's not to say there wasn't something worthwhile being discussed by the other candidates. The Ivory Tower:
"I wouldn't sign such a pledge," George said. "Because we don't know what the future holds." I'd only reply that we DO know what the future holds should the current administration or the next raise taxes again. We've experienced that nightmare before... and we're living through it now.
