As General Motors slowly recovers and pays back the massive debt owed to the U.S. government, the company will finally receive some steady leadership.

Soon-to-be former CEO Ed Whitacre will pass the GM torch to Dan Akerson. Whitacre initially came into the company as a temporary CEO and worked with General Motors for only ten months. As of September 1st, Akerson will begin his stint at the recovering auto giant. An article at freep.com reports Akerson is currently looking for a home in suburban Detroit, promising he clearly wants to stay awhile.

Reports say Akerson will hopefully be with GM for two to four years, and his real estate ventures say the same. General Motors can certainly use this stability, as Akerson is the fourth CEO to come through the company since spring 2009.

Auto Shippers wishes Akerson good luck in his endeavors as he continues to lead General Motors into a bright future. Surely, this commitment will continue to aid job stability and quality car production within the company.
