“Two weeks?” I said. The program I was in lasted three months. “Who can learn TPS in two weeks?” I asked.

My host shrugged and said, “Nobody, really. But GM says that’s all they can spare of their busy managers’ time.”

That was when I began to trade long Toyota and short GM–an investment strategy that has paid for my kids’ private schooling, and now college.

At GM, they say, ‘I’m senior management. There’s a right answer, and I’m supposed to know it.’ This makes it harder to try things.

Just imagine how many times that attitude gets multiplied once you add a new level of ‘Congressional DNA’!
