“This book offers no easy formula.
There are none.”


It’s practical when
Jack was GE’s CEO
and other factors.


Everyone has preference
on managing people.


Be neutral and hold your judgment.


Listen with focus by asking:

How can I apply this knowledge?
How does it inspire me?
Which part should I share with others?


Work in group - discuss learning points:
Application, Inspiration,
and what to share...

Chapter 5
Leadership


Short-Long Paradox


Anyone can manage for the short
just keep squeezing the lemon.


And anyone can manage for the long
just keep dreaming.


“Performing balancing acts
everyday is leadership.
Managing short - thinking long.”


“Life would be easier if leadership
was just a list of simple rules,
but paradoxes are inherent to the trade.”


8 Leadership Rules

2. Share vision 6. Probe and push
3. Energize positivity 7. Inspire risk taking
4. Build trust 8. Celebrate


1. Interact with team;

the fuel of winning teams.

by setting the example


“It’s OK to take swings and miss,
as long as you learned from them.”


“after World War 2 and before global competition
- most industries, GE included, were stuck in a
not-invented-here (NIH) mind-set...”


March 1998,
Larry Page & Sergey Brin studied at Stanford,
tried to sell Google’s idea to Altavista.


Altavista was subsidiary of DEC


DEC’s engineers didn’t interest.
They were usually against the idea of
NIH - ‘Not-Invented-Here’.


GE adopted Six Sigma from Motorola.


Jack read from Fortune Magazine that
PEPSICO used own executives as teachers.
He adopted it to GE.
