Harley-Davidson's President and CEO Jim Ziemer is retiring soon - just as soon as a replacement is found. It's expected to come some time in 2009.
Ziemer started at Harley operating a freight elevator in 1969, then worked his way through the accounting department and up to chief financial officer in 1990. He became CEO in 2005.
So what do you think? If you know much about Ziemer's time at Harley's helm, what kind of a CEO was he? And as for the future, what kind of person should be running the company for the next few years, and what skills and background should he or she have?
