通用CEO谈未来发展

    您能否从更为宏观的角度为读者提供一些职场建议？

    我是幸运的。我就读的是美国海军军官学校（United States Naval Academy）。学校教育我们，不论身在军队还是在民间，都要报效祖国。相信我，我本人绝对支持自由市场，也希望过上好日子，为家人提供经济保障，但这个任命对我而言就是响应国家的召唤。

    我（对通用的任命）没有一点思想准备，而且这工作需要我搬家，而我已经六十多岁了。人到这个年纪已经很难彻底改变自己。但我想，我有机会成为一个伟大团队的一份子。事实上，我们在通用汽车确实打造了一支优秀的团队。我们的未来一片光明，但我们仍需要不舍昼夜，不懈努力，对于团队每个人而言，这都是非常有益的经历。

    Is there a larger lesson for people thinking about careers?

    I was blessed. I went to the United States Naval Academy, and they talk about service to the nation in positions of command and in the civilian world. Believe me, I believe in the free market and want to make a good living and create financial security for my family, but this was a call to service for me.

    I wasn't expecting it. It was somewhat of a dislocation -- I had to move, and I'm 60-some years old. It's a little late in life to try to reinvent yourself. But I thought I could be part of a greater team, and we have created a wonderful team at General Motors. I think our future is reasonably bright, but we're going to have to earn it every day, and it's a rewarding experience for all of us.
