Yesterdays business icons, todays villain - Jack Welch stint at GE

Nation building via learning and being the best in business

When this post was starting out as a businessman, it was an advice to hold on to somebody as a role model.  And one of my lodis was Jack Welch.  I bought books about GE, Jack Welch.   And the whole world idolized him.  He made GE a mega business

But lately, there are news and allegations that actually destroyed GE.   His moves did not make GE unsustainable And by making 50% of GE more of a finance company via GE Capital GE was exposed to financial and capital market risk that required more than a hundred billion bail out.

Hero or villain?
