There actually is management talent outside of General Motors. While I don't carry the resumes of Fortune 500 managers in my back pocket, Alan Mulally readily demonstrates how you can find people with success in their history who might do a better job at managing an automaker than simply searching GM's shallow talent pool for the next leader.

Bill Ford was smart enough and courageous enough to acknowledge that he was out of his league. He was able to swallow his pride and find a more suitable leader for Ford. That was admirable. Wagoner hasn't really demonstrated he has what it takes, yet he persists in mismanaging GM. Admirable? Not so much.

As an indirect shareholder in GM, I'll pass. That is not a good idea.
