Jack Welch and 4E's of LEADERSHIP


I recently read a book “ JACK WELCH and the 4E’s of LEADERSHIP

It’s all about the 4Es of a leader.

The 4E’s of Leadership are as follows.
The 4E Leader Has Energy
The 4E Leader Energizes
The 4E Leader Has Edge
The 4E Leader Executes


This books deals about the leadership lessons from great leaders with whom Jack worked while building up GE.

Jeff Immelt, James McNerney, Larry Bossidy, Robert Nardelli and Vivek Paul


Jeff Immelt: Jack’s legacy in GE, and about his ability to make GE in to a leader producing machine.
