After 37-years at Boeing where he
started off as an engineer andeventually became executive vice
president, Mulally was appointed
CEO of Ford in 2006.
Industry observers were shocked:
never had someone with absolutely
no car experience been appointedto such a high position.

FORD
And it definitely started off as a
bumpy ride.
In 2006, Ford posted a $12.6
billion loss and another $2.7
billion in 2007.
Though Ford’s problems were in place long before
Mulally came to the company, it was still up to him to
do something about it.

Mulally was part of the “Detroit Three” automakersthat appeared in the infamous Capitol Hill bailout
hearings. Mulally’s own image took a beating duringthe hearings. However, unlike the other two
companies, Ford did not accept the government-
aided bailout and did not have to file for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection.

Mulally’s plan for Ford includedcutting labor costs, taking out loans
– more than $23 million worth – andselling non-core brands, such as
Land Rover and Volvo. Today, Ford
has about 120,000 fewer workers
than it did in 2006.
Some people call it one of the
biggest business turnarounds from
the great recession. It also markedthe second act in Mulally’s life.

“We are fighting for the soul of
American manufacturing,” Mulallysaid in an interview with Time
Magazine. “We are leading theway.”
“Communicate, communicate,
communicate,” he said in aninterview with CNN. “Everyone has
to know the plan, its status, and the
areas that need special attention.”
