My favorite quote come from Alex Trotman: "I am turned off by
people who don't do their homework...I like people who are thorough, who work hard. I have
a low tolerance for sloppy work." Alex was the Former Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of the Ford Motor Company. I worked under Alex for several years during my time within Ford's North American Automotive Operation, Car Product Planning Office. Like most others, I found him to be one of the best bosses one could have. Alex retired from Ford effective 1/1/99 and has now passed away - but he's not forgotten. |
| Here's is a similar quote from 90 year old Dr. Michael DeBakey... | I have little tolerance for incompetence, sloppy thinking, and laziness. |
