As Jack Welch wrote in a letter to
shareholders: "In the old culture, managers got their power from secret
knowledge: profit margins, market share, and all that... In the
→
new economy,
the role of the
leader is to express a
→
vision,
get
buy-in, and implement it. That calls for open, caring relations with
every employee, and face-to-face communication. People who can't
convincingly
→
articulate a vision won't be successful. But those who can will
become even more open – because success breeds self-confidence."
Welch believed that
great business leaders have
to:
>>
→
possess large doses of
energy, and
>>
know how to use that energy to
energize others.
Welch moved from
meeting to meeting, conveying
that message – and the host of other ones as well.
