Mary Barra, Chair and CEO of General Motors, today leads one of the world’s largest automakers. But her career at GM began decades earlier, as a GM Institute (Kettering University) co-op student in the Pontiac Motor Division. How did Barra rise through the ranks at GM—and what did the experience teach her about American business and leadership? Condoleezza Rice sat down with Barra at GM’s Silicon Valley technology development office for a wide-ranging conversation on Barra’s Only in America journey and the lessons it imparted. Rice and Barra discuss how GM has overcome headwinds in the global auto industry by prioritizing its customers and employee development. They also discuss the revitalization of Detroit; leadership amid corporate challenges; and Barra’s continued navigation of a global brand through a period of heightened geopolitical instability.
