Toyota Motor Corporation (ADR) (TM): This Is One Incredible CEO

Two thumbs up

Toyota Motor may not be my top choice among auto stocks, but Akio Toyoda deserves his credit for taking a struggling company that’s dealt with recalls, earthquakes, and stiff competition, and managing to turn it around in a big way through new designs and cost-cutting. To add, Toyoda has done a remarkable job in expanding his workforce overseas, adding to shareholders’ wealth, and ensuring that his company does what’s right when it comes to the sharing of knowledge. To that end, Akio Toyoda, I give you two thumbs up!
