Former GM employee now CEO of Chrysler
The Blue-Collar CEO
He arrived at Chrysler in 2000 to run manufacturing, after 23 years at GM, at GM, he became a specialist in "lean manufacturing"—operating factories with the fewest workers possible. LaSorda became a star in the early '90s by transforming an old communist car factory in the former East Germany into a model of efficiency for GM. By the end of the decade, though, his path to the top was blocked, so he jumped to Chrysler.

Makes me wish Rick had more in common with this guy.
