General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner is confident in his role at the helm of the world’s largest automaker, he said in an interview with NewsWeek. “I’m quite sure that I’m the right guy to run GM,” he said. Adding that he’s very “straightforward, thoughtful and very driven.” He said he feels “very secure” in his job, and is not worried about Carlos Ghosn taking over. “No [board member] has expressed dissatisfaction with me. And if one steps back and looks at the facts, the pace of the turnaround is exceptionally fast,” he said. He said he didn’t think there’s any need to change GM’s turnaround effort or his style of leadership. “I think it’s exactly why we’ve been able to do remarkable stuff here in the span of a year,” he said. “Why would anybody want to change that? That’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard.”
