What is the difference between a director-general and a general-director?

Ferrari job titles are baffling.  It would appear that the holder of one of these job titles will still be employed by the company next year whereas the return of Luca may cause the departure of Todt.

Do you, like me, seem to think that Luka di M and Jean Todt haven't quite been seeing eye to eye of late?

They would'nt, Todt's a midget.

Not quite the answer I was expecting, but 10 out of 10 anyway.

Not really. He's a tadpole (i.e. a little frog)

I think there has always been a gulf between them Luca is an inspirational Leader and diplomat where as Jean is a consumate Manager of resources and men. To put it another way one says lets do it the other makes it happen, Luca is still going to need someone to do his organising whatever direction he takes Ferrari in.
