They should have thought about driving in their own cars before taking the private jets. Re: compensation. Submit an invoice to them and see what happens. Too little, too late.

Even the most mundane activities can be turned into potential opportunities. It sounds crazy, but why not turn your daily startup activities into entertainment of some sort? For example, why not get some film students to make a documentary about your journey to startup success? That's just one idea, but you get my point. Be unreasonably creative in how you create buzz around whatever you do. That's the kind of creative energy that's missing at GM. It's unfortunate, because they have world-class infrastructure and valuable operations knowledge. Too bad these stuffy old crusts have no Klue.

The Tahoe Hybrid is the symbol of everything that's wrong with GM. Love the post, with one exception: If Richard Branson ran GM, they never would have made enormous SUV hybrids!

He would cut whole bunch of entitlement fat, bust up company into competing units, fire all old-school advertising agencies, go to users for real ideas of what they want. But Richard is smart... he knows GM is about to flat-line. RIP - GM. We may loose the Corvette, but the rest of the product.... good riddance! If Richard Branson ran GM, Tesla would have no chance.
