“Closing our eyes, or thinking that finding a solution is someone else’s role, makes us part of the problem,” Marchionne said. “The essence of leadership is this: personally assuming the moral duty to do something, to take part in the process of building the future.”

Marchionne applauded efforts by students at Michigan’s Ross School, supporting entrepreneurial development in Detroit through their own Revitalization & Business Initiative.

“Detroit is a city that desperately needs educated and energetic young people to transform itself from a suffering urban area into a vibrant center. You are young and have the future in your hands,” Marchionne added.

Chrysler Group is currently engaged with the Ross School in its Master of Supply Chain Management Program and the Tauber Institute for Global Operations with intentions to expand its relationship with the university.

Leading by example, Chrysler Group continues to affirm its dedication to the community. In addition to recently announcing Marchionne’s leadership position with the United Way, Chrysler Group confirmed plans earlier this month to add a third crew and 1,100 new jobs at its Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit. It also reaffirmed that it will add 150 jobs by reopening its Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit.
