GM board reconsiders dividend cut, York board seat

Wait, now. Haven't we just been through this? In any event, the General Motors board is considering today a number of proposals from investor Kirk Kerkorian and his right hand man in his GM adventure, Jerry York (right).

Among the topics on the table today: cutting the GM dividend, cutting exec salaries, and giving York a seat on the board. It's deja vu all over again.

Not to minimize the complexity of managing a company like GM, but it seems that the company needs to pick up the pace of decision-making in the upper levels of the org chart if it hopes to turn things around before its market share dwindles much further.
