Jack Welch Jack Welch is one of the world's most respected and celebrated CEOs, known for his unmatched track record of success, enormous love of people, fierce passion for winning, and unbridled desire to change the world for the better using his unique management practices, which are collectively called The Welch Way. In his 21 years as CEO of General Electric, Jack transformed GE into the world's most admired and successful company with his innovative management techniques. Revenues grew five-fold from $25 billion to $130 billion, and the company's market capitalization had a 30-fold increase of $400 billion. His achievements are considered epic, and as a result, thousands of companies around the world have adopted his business philosophies. After retiring from GE in 2001, Jack has only become more active in business. He has written two best-selling business books, Jack: Straight from the Gut and Winning. He actively participates in managing numerous companies as part of a private equity group, and for four years wrote an immensely popular weekly column for BusinessWeek magazine. He is also a fixture on TV as a popular business commentator. Jack has always been defined by his zealous love of teaching and commitment to building leaders. At GE, he created the world's best corporate training center and regularly taught there himself. More recently, he taught a popular course as a visiting professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management, and he regularly runs seminars for senior executives around the world. Working closely with an outstanding faculty, Jack is engaged in every aspect of the Jack Welch Management Institute. He appears in weekly videos about current business events, interacts with students via email, and is deeply involved in the development of the program's curriculum.
