Bean counters generally base business decisions on business cases and that is what got GM into trouble. I worked there in product/portfolio planning and found it frustrating to justify certain product features. How do you make a business case for richer plastics or an MP3 player jack? That kind of stuff turns on or turns off buyers immediately. Bean counters don't understand consumer psychology like car guys do, and cars purchases are more psychologically driven than logic-driven. That said, you need a person that understands financial things, but which CEO candidate doesn't?
