Becuase it seems like he is the only person there who knows how to design a car that people want.
This would be the perfect reason why no company should place too much emphasis on having a "character leader" like Lutz. Besides, if he is the leader that he's drummed up to be, he would have been simultaneously grooming several replacements while he tended to the task of fixing GM's design studios. Management seems to work best when it has several layers of talent, not just one man that's charged with turning around a near $200 billion corporation.
