15. And for the more prosaic reason that GM's leadership answers directly to Obama and Geithner!

Akerson was appointed as the Treasury's representative to the GM board last July, after the company emerged from bankruptcy.

Wilson said President Obama's auto task force was looking for GM board members with "experience in leading change at major organizations" as well as private equity managers with a lot of experience of corporate boards. Akerson combined those qualities, said Wilson, who described him as a "hard charger and a change agent."
