Jack Welch = when GE was GE

[MayflowerMadam]

I worked at GE when Welch was there. It was a wonderful atmosphere! Stimulating and professional. Employees were encouraged to step out of their comfort zones and achieve more — and they/I did.

But Welch at this meeting? During the campaign, IIRC, he was seriously anti-Trump.

Neutron Jack had to take an organization that had become as bureaucratic as the federal government and remake it into an entrepreneurial business.

He was probably wrong about a lot of things he shed and a lot of things he kept, but the transformation was very necessary.

Jack Welch was an icon at large companies in the 70’s and 80’s. he was the subject of many Harvard business cases in business schools. Fired GE managers were in high demand at other companies simply because their GE resume meant that they probably had good management skills.
