    I have known Bob Nardelli for two decades and have watched him lead huge work forces during good times and bad. It is hard to understand how important leadership and vision are to any situation until you desperately need it. He has shown true leadership, vision and integrity and inclusiveness throughout. He was a friend and mentor while at GE, which at the time was the parent company of my then network – CNBC. Then I watched him during the heyday of housing build grow Home Depot for employees and shareholders, and then as the leader of Chrysler during one of the most important and difficult times for the industry, he led with vision and integrity. I am proud to call Bob Nardelli a friend and to be able to lean on him during these volatile and uncertain times in global business.

    Over my 35 years as a Management Consultant, Bob Nardelli exhibited the best leadership qualities of any client. His Leadership skills are rooted in his ability to balance discrepant factors such as, a long-term strategy with short-term operational excellence, a lofty vision with an uncanny eye for the details, a tough but fair management style who motivates by asking salient questions rather than mandating what subordinates should be doing. Truly, Bob is someone who listens, learns and leads.

    I have worked closely with Bob Nardelli for 15 years and can say, without hesitation, that he is one of the very best all-around CEOs I have ever encountered in my 45 years in the public relations business. As a highly experienced practitioner, I have worked for many of Fortune’s top 100 companies, including such prestigious firms as AT&T, P&G, Pepsi-Cola, Citicorp, EY, Honeywell, General Motors and American Airlines. In those years, I have seen firsthand how the CEOs of these fine companies have run their organizations. Bob Nardelli, in my experience, is in the same league as these outstanding executives. He has reshaped and rebuilt companies, improved their performance and inspired their workers with a can-do attitude and consistent examples of leadership.

    Bob Nardelli is one of the great business executives in the United States today. With his background at General Electric and as CEO of the Power Systems business for many years, Bob helped grow one of GE’s most important business segments. After his tenure at GE, he served as CEO of The Home Depot where I was fortunate to continue working with him as a member of the board of directors. There is no question that Bob’s vision for the future of the company and his willingness to deal with people at all levels of the organization helped begin a new chapter in The Home Depot’s success. Bob moved on to Chrysler at a time when the company needed strong leadership. His business savvy and commitment to the organization was evident as he was able to manage through tough financial and market share challenges. Today, Fiat Chrysler continues to benefit from Bob’s vision on future products and the positioning of its brands. I have a high level of respect for Bob Nardelli as a business leader and for his personal commitment to the community. In today’s business world, there is no better person to take on an underperforming and undervalued business and turn it around.
