It’s not every day you get to interview your own boss! Bill Ford has seen it all in his 40+ years at Ford Motor Company. On #DRIVEpod, we talk about the highs and lows of leadership, the work we’re doing to transform the company & his deep love for Detroit. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/epBDecYy
Hello Jim , I'm looking for a place and a person with the ability to make decisions and together develop a series of ideas focused on the safety of vehicles and users, scalable at a global level. Together we can take FORD to the place of Leadership of Creativity and Innovation, Greetings and Blessings! Carlos G. Bolbarán B. procreactivo@gmail.com Mobile: 56 931220805
It's disheartening to share that my 46-year-old fiancé, who has given seven fruitful years to Ford in Brazil overseeing tooling engineering, was deemed ineligible for the same role due to age. This doesn't seem to align with the Ford values we know and stand by
Really enjoyed the podcast, and so much resonated with me especially after following my father and grandfather into Ford including never talking about work so I chose my own path (guess that tactic doesn’t work).
Jim, interview with Bill Ford is another Home Run for you! Bill's life has been great only interfered with on 2 occasions the first being invention of "Front Wheel Drive" which killed his Donuts in his front yard & never finding the "Dinner Napkins" that Walt Disney drew Mickey & Minnie on! Great Interview.
Interviewing your boss must really be challenging.
Thank you both for a great conversation
How awesome is that 👏
Fantastic

7moEver important hearing from leadership as America struggles with created inflation driving this false EV market. ICE vehicles and food prices today significantly higher, America’s lifestyles are much more than the inefficiencies of China produced solar, wind and batteries. America’s civilization evolved by a century of sustainable oil and gas ICE technologies, while China ICE inept pushing their “Green” narrative to institutions - unchecked. Ignorant $$$ extremists gaming the solar, wind, battery are in reality a much greater polluter of landscape footprint (400 new mines must open, 10 yrs of regulations and protections) displacing critical wild and violating oceans with toxic bunker fuel emissions - tailings disposal and landfill runoff. ICE only a 5% emissions contributor, 15 container ships (China alone w/5,600) are equivalent to ALL ICE globally, affluent a significant solar absorbing blanket on OUR oceans EVs are nitche China waste gadgets, incapable of displacing critical working Americans needs of multiple use vehicles (towing). Clearly DC subsidies (China) reign over America’s real growth needs, very sad to see communism waste has spilled into America’s Leadership!
