When Mark Hogan was growing up in the 1960s, the heads of the big U.S. auto makers were revered titans of American business. Encouraged by his father, he set an audacious career goal: chairman of General Motors.

In the 1980s, Mr. Hogan became one of GM’s leading experts on the lean manufacturing practices pioneered by Toyota and coveted by rivals. Later, as president of GM’s Brazilian unit, he successfully introduced some of those ideas. After returning to Detroit in 1997, he talked boldly about transforming GM’s U.S. plants in ways that would mean more production from fewer workers. His blunt talk alarmed the United Auto Workers and stirred worries among other GM executives of renewed war between the company and the union.
