All of us want to know that we are doing great things, that we are touching a lot of people, and that what we are doing is something bigger than ourselves.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
Leadership is having a compelling vision, a comprehensive plan, relentless implementation, and talented people working together.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
I was the lead designer and the general manager of the triple 7 and, of course, the dynamite 787.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
There's a Ford dealer in every city around the United States. They're the fabric of the community. They're either head of the chamber of commerce or the priest, or I mean they're just the fabric of America, and they took care of us.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
My favorite expression is a tag line or an advertising and marketing campaign that Ford ran a number of years ago. They ran it for almost 12 years, and it was, 'Have you driven a Ford lately?'
Quote by -Alan Mulally
More and more people realize the importance of economic growth, near-term and long-term in the U.S., and the competitiveness with other countries around the world.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
Whatever we do toward energy independence has to be done in the context of using less resources.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
We don't worry over macro-economic factors when investing, as we are always thinking about the long-term.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
When I arrived in Ford, a decision was made to sell many marquee brands. This was because 85 per cent of the sales were from Ford and Lincoln brands. We were clear that for the company's strong future, we needed to focus on the Ford brands.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
The A-PAC region is so important, mainly because it is growing much faster than the global average.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
There is no reason that America can't compete in a global economy, and I love being one small proof point in that.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
I can remember the first time I tried to drive into the garage of the world headquarters of Ford in a Camry. It was almost like they wouldn't let me in. They said, 'Why do you want to do that?' I said, 'Because we are going to make the best cars in the world, and we need to know everything about the competitor's car.'
Quote by -Alan Mulally
Nothing will ever have the impact that 9/11 had on Boeing and on the world. It just changed things overnight.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
If you get honest feedback and do nothing about it, then the feedback will stop.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
This working together is just so important: you're either working together, or you're not working together.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
As we develop our energy policies in the United States to generate our energy clean, then I think we're going to really move to a world that all of us want, and that is a sustainable future.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
The most important thing is to simultaneously deal with reality - really the way it is, not the way you wished it could be or you hoped it could be - but also have a vision about where you want to go.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
I really like working with talented people to do something for a lot of people around our world.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
Never make a joke or try for humor at someone else's expense. In a high-stakes environment, everyone needs to feel safe.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
The most important thing is the fact we have created this successful and sustainable Ford Motor Co. worldwide. I have no regrets.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
I sleep very well, although sometimes it's hard to go to sleep 'cos I'm so excited about the business performance review the following day.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
An important part of leadership is being able to hold two things in your mind at once: Dealing with the reality, whatever it may be, and focus on hope for the future. Any leader helping an organization through challenges needs to be able to do both.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
The purpose of life is to love and be loved... what could possibly be more energizing than that?
Quote by -Alan Mulally
Automobiles are fun and exciting. We need them. They are a part of our lives.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
Some people believe the U.S. can't compete in the design and manufacture of sophisticated products. I think we absolutely can if we pull together. We have shown that we can do that in commercial airplanes, and we can absolutely prove that we can do that in automobiles.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
Ford is committed to building a sustainable future for the benefit of all Americans, and we believe Ford is on the right path to achieve this vision.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
Think about just exceeding expectations of every job you're being asked to do. Continually ask for feedback on how it's going. Ask everybody involved what you can do to do an even better job, and the world will beat down your door trying to ask you to do more and more.
Quote by -Alan Mulally
I've been very fortunate to be part of projects that are really big and broad.
