Jack Welch is among
the famous CEOs because his management style is
taught at
business
schools
throughout
the
country.
He
has
been
with
the
General
Electric
Company (GE) since 1960. Having taken
GE with a market value of about $$12 billion,
Jack Welch turned it into one of the
largest and most admired companies in the world,
with a market value of about $$ 500
billion, when he stepped down as its CEO 20 years
later, in 2000.
As Jack
Welch wrote in a letter to shareholders:
“
In the old culture,
managers got
their power from secret
knowledge: profit margins, market share, and all
that... In the
new economy, the role of
the leader is to express a vision, and put it into
practice. That
calls for open, caring
relations with every employee, and face-to-face
communication.
People who
can
’
t
convincingly(
有说服力地
) express
a vision won
’
t be
successful. But
those
who
can
will
become
even
more
open
—
because
success
builds
up
self-confidence.
“
Welch believed
that great business leaders have to:
?
possess large amounts of
energy, and
?
know how to
use that energy to motivate others.
Welch moves from meeting to meeting,
conveying that message--and many more
others as well, some of which have
become his trademarks:
?
Business is simple.
?
Don
’
t make it
complicated.
?
Face reality.
?
Don
’
t be afraid
of change.
?
