We are the ones, that love people that admit to learn with others. This is about some speculation in markets, last month, concerning a possible connection between Ford and Toyota. Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford, had been in Tokyo, last month, and now he says: he deeply admires the Japanese automaker for its manufacturing processes and product development strategy.
It is remarkable that a person who is the top responsible of a brand saying this about a competitor: Mulally called Toyota "the finest machine in the world, the finest production system in the world. So we went to study with the master. I really wanted to connect with each of the manufacturers in the industry and to do it quickly".
Probably, some Americans, does not like this approach. In our opinion, it is the best approach: to be a learner, instead of a blind and an arrogant person.
