I’ve followed this guy for quite a few years as an example of someone whose empirical management and workload was something I simply had to be in awe of. I don’t know if he’s guilty of anything yet but his skill is certainly something to study. He was brutal (American) in both France and Japan. He did a job with Renault. Then he saved Nissan. But he’s been accused of financial reporting issues. Running both Renault and Nissan at the same time. But this put Japanese and french companies in conflict because Nissan is far better in engineering and selling into both Asia and America. This was a mistake. He should have taken one or the other. And he was … excessively greedy in executive compensation. Japan, esp, does not tolerate high exec pay. I”m not sure what he’s being accused of is a ‘crime’.
Mixing companies across cultures does not work well.
