What Do You Think of the Ideal CEO?
Jack welch, who became ceo of g e after 20 years at the company. You were very different from him. He was kind of buttond down, formal, classically trained in a way and british. And you were more scrappy, boston area. Said what you thought, didn't necessarily care that much how people received it. It's amazing that he saw in you, you know, what others may not have seen. I wonder how much you were motivated to stay and rise by your desire to change the way the company was run. Because you and he both acknowledged that at the time you took over, ge needed a lot of change.
