Why Skills-First Leadership Is Replacing the Ivy League Playbook in the C-Suite
The old prestige pyramid—where Ivy League degrees and blue-chip consulting backgrounds paved the way to the CEO seat—is cracking.
Ford Motor Company reported a modest increase in third-quarter sales, up 0.7% compared to the previous year. However, its crosstown rival, General Motors, has surpassed its position in the electric vehicle (EV) market.
While Ford’s overall sales have remained relatively stable, GM has experienced a significant surge in EV sales, outpacing Ford in this critical segment. GM’s broader range of electric vehicle models and aggressive marketing strategies have contributed to its market leadership.
Despite the setback in EV sales, Ford remains committed to its electric vehicle strategy. The company has invested heavily in developing new electric models and expanding its charging infrastructure. Ford’s Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning electric trucks have been well-received by consumers, and the company is poised to introduce additional EV models in the coming years.
The competition between Ford and GM in the electric vehicle market is intensifying as both companies seek to capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable transportation. The race to develop innovative and affordable electric vehicles will likely shape the future of the automotive industry.
