Would Mrs. Robinson Bemoan the Lack of Leadership from US automakers?

A slightly altered lyric of Simon & Garfunkel's Mrs. Robinson comes to my mind after reading The Three Ways of Great Leaders. In this article, Lee Iacocca is used to exemplify Way #3, The Charismatic Leader. But that is past history, today's US automakers have lost the visionary edge to make cars that lead much less keep up with social and environmental changes in our nation, much less our world. I've been wishing that a new "Lee Iacocca" would rise up and lead GM or Ford to a brighter future. According to this article the charismatic leader is needed when you can't put your faith in the institution because it's crumbling, such that "you don't trust Chrysler. But you do trust Iacocca." The article recognized the danger of infatuation with charismatic leaders, but also mentioned that this doesn't mean its wrong to have them in the first place.

"Where have you gone, Lee Iacocca, Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you. What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson. larger-than-life Lee has left and gone away, Hey hey hey."
