My father worked his way up from the foundry to "Business Leader" (management) at GE, starting in the mid 1970s.
GE was a mess internally, all the way down to the shop floor, before Welch took over. His impact cannot be understated.
We were big Jack Welch fans - if he hadn't grown GE the way he did, my hometown - where it was the largest employer for decades - would have been a lot poorer.
