Jack Welch's Approach
Jack Welch, the legendary
former CEO of GE, encouraged
colleagues to never stop
thinking about the need for
change,
see change as an opportunity,
and create change proactively.
He advised his managers:
①
Start each day as if it were
your first day on the job.
②
Make whatever changes are
necessary to improve things.
③
Re-examine your agenda
constantly. Rewrite it, if
necessary. In that way you avoid
falling back on old habits.
Welch was telling employees at
the factory level, "make
decision yourself. If you're
confident that you are right
about something, don't just sit
back and give in: you can change
things, and urge change upon
your boss."
