That's what killed Chrysler.

A conversation I once heard in a hall at Auburn Hills between a Chrysler Band 96 (Director Level) and a Moehringen (MB HQ) Level 3 (MB Director Level) on November 12, 1998:

Chrysler: " You don't use diversity very much in hiring, do you?"

MB: "No, we hire a third-party company to sort candidates based on competence. If you survive, one day you'll do this too. Or you may not survive."


Hmmmmm....

Update:
The MB director is retired, the Chrysler director was pushed out to the early retirement pasture.

I still have the business card from the MB guy. The Chrysler woman was my buddy's boss.
