VW must be open to new ideas and bad news, U.S. monitor says

Volkswagen Group must strive for a less authoritarian structure, be more inclined to allow new ideas and accept bad news, says former deputy U.S. attorney general Larry Thompson, the monitor appointed to oversee the automaker’s integrity and compliance as part of its emissions-cheating scandal settlement with the U.S. authorities. Thompson spoke with Henning Krogh, a reporter at Automobilwoche, a sister publication of Automotive News Europe.
