*************
How to explain [Welch's] success?
Mr. Welch's book will almost certainly
hammer home three points that have become his mantra.
Managers should:
• Create leaders. "In the end, the plate looks prettier than the making of
it," he said. "My job is selecting people, evaluating people, giving them
self-confidence and spreading ideas."
• Focus on a few simple big ideas and dedicate the resources needed to
drive them home.
• Master and inspire continuous change. "The most difficult thing in an
organization is to get people to act on change," he said.
