I worked my way up the presidency of the Ford Motor Company. When I finally got there, I was on top of the world. But then fate said to me: “Wait, we’re not finished with you. Now you’re going to find out what it feels like to get kicked off from the top.”

On July 13, 1978, I was fired. I had been president of Ford for eight years and a Ford employee for thirty-two. I had never worked anywhere else. And now suddenly, I was out of a job.

As you go through life, there are thousands of little forks in the road, and there are a few really big forks—those moments of thinking, moments of truth. This was mine as I wondered what to do. Should I pack it all in and retire. I was fifty-four years old. I had already accomplished a great deal. I was financially secure. But that just didn’t feel right. I knew I had to carry on.

A few months later, I became the president of Chrysler, a company which was almost bankrupt at that time. Fortunately, Chrysler recovered. Today I’m a hero. With strong will, with luck, and with help from lots of good people, I was able to rise up from the ashes.
