master of precision, initiated his pre-
cision manufacturing techniques at
the founding of Cadillac

“The Penalty of Leadership”
first appeared in the January

issue of The Saturday Evening Post
as an expression of the Cadillac com-
mitment

innovation.
It is widely regarded as
one of the finest documents ever
written and was published following
the introduction of the first produc-
