10. “A GROUP OF BAD MANAGERS HAS THE
POWER TO CLOSE THE DOORS TO YOUR
BUSINESS”
Long before Jack Welch became CEO of General Electric (GE), he almost quit the
company. Back in 1961, despite his hard work, Welch only received the same pay
raise as everyone else. With a new job already lined up, Welch had one foot out the
door. However, his manager, Reuben Gutoff, convinced him that remaining with the
business was the best move. Using his people management skills, Gutoff promised
Welch that greater opportunities awaited, and he would do his best to make sure
nothing stood in the way of Welch showcasing his talents. That included providing
Welch with the resources and support to develop his skills and grow within the
company.
Jack Welch would go on to become the youngest CEO in GE’s history, lead the
business to impressive success, and create one of the best company cultures in
America. And it’s all because a manager with the right people management skills
stepped in to ensure he realized his full potential.

manager is not necessarily a leader.”
