Analysis of Leader 1 # Jack Welch
Jack Welch is not just a celebrated chairman and chief executive of GE, but also is Professor Welch. He set a new contemporary paradigm for the corporation that is the model for the current century. It is the model that has transformed GE from its market value of $12 billion in 1981 to about $505 billion at the time of his retirement. The company continues to grow even today, which proves that his belief in the power of people was right.
