Jack Welch

1. Jack Welch got his people’s decisions right as he would involve himself in hiring decisions that
global CEOs would assign to their subordinates. He kept also kept a score on anyone involved
in bringing on or promoting employees based on their successes and failures – batting average.
2. He wanted his people to speak with frankness; being honest and open in their behavior as it
would enhance the ability to act smart, fast and people contributing all the ideas. Jack
