Recommendation

Few things are more challenging for a new chief executive than following in the footsteps of a corporate legend, but that is what Jeffrey R. Immelt had to do when he succeeded Jack Welch as chairman and CEO of General Electric (GE). In this comprehensive portrait of a talented young CEO who has overcome tough challenges, David Magee, the author of respected books on Toyota, Nissan, Ford and John Deere, traces Immelt’s rise to the top of GE’s competitive management ladder. Magee provides Immelt’s complete background and limns his GE career with an emphasis on the problems he addressed and the values that support his strategic decisions. getAbstract recommends this saga as a well-reported inside look at global strategy in the making.

Take-Aways

  • Jeff Immelt was born in 1956, the son of a General Electric (GE) employee.
  • Just 30 days after he started at GE, Immelt made a marketing presentation to then-CEO Jack Welch, who noticed his management potential.
  • Immelt steadily climbed the corporate ladder, moving through GE’s divisions.
