Welch¿s Long-lasting Contribution to Business Leadership
Jack Welch, although the most well known CEO in Corporate America for decades, is going beyond his own myth in his autobiography. He has decided to get a better hold of his destiny by explaining himself to readers. Welch shares with his audience some very interesting insights about his personality and management style that he has developed over time: self-confidence, self-respect, trust, toughness and aggressiveness as well as warmth and generosity. Welch, a star performer, realistically played the promotion game to climb to the top of GE. As CEO of GE for two decades, Welch proved many detractors wrong by turning a stodgy, bureaucratic manufacturing conglomerate into a very profitable, service-oriented constellation of companies sharing the same vision and values. Welch probably knows better than anybody else that the work of his life is unfinished business. Business is indeed a process of constant renewal.
