He has been with the General Electric Company (GE) since 1960. Having taken GE with a market value of about $12 billion, Jack Welch turned it into one of the largest and most admired companies in the world, with a market value of about $500 billion, when he stepped down as its CEO 20 years later, in 2000. As Jack Welch wrote in a letter to shareholders: “In the old culture, managers got their power from secret knowledge: profit margins, market share, and all that. In the new economy, the role of the leader is to express a vision, and put it into practice. That calls for open, caring relations with every employee, and face-to-face communication. People who cant convincingly (有说服力的) express a vision wont be successful. But those who can will become even more openbecause success builds up self-confidence.” Welch believed that great business leaders have to: possess large amounts of energy, and know how to use that energy to motivate others. Welch moves from meeting to meeting, conveying that messageand many more others as well, some of which have become his trademarks: Business is simple. Dont make it complicated. Face reality. Dont be afraid of change. Use the brains of your workers. 1. According to the first paragraph, Jack Welch, as a CEO, is famous for his _.

The Human Resources Department recently surveyed the employees. They are wasting nearly two hours per day. Here are my ideas to reduce this waste. First we need to agree on what are the Most important behaviors to stop. For example, look at activity No.1 in the table below. Many people are doing this; however, it is the most difficult to stop. I recommend that we focus on activities No. 2, 4, and 5. Making phone calls shows the largest difference between men and women. Women do this much more than men. We should ask all employees to limit these calls. They should return non-urgent messages at their lunch break. For No. 4, we should focus on the younger age group. We will tell them that we are going to check their work accounts for personal messages. For No. 5, we can ask managers to watch this more carefully. Perhaps activity No. 3 should continue. This allows employees to know each other and it can increase their motivation. The managers will know if someone is spending too much time talking and not enough time working. Are you available tomorrow? Id like to meet with you to discuss our next step. Time Spent on Non-work-related Activities ActivitiesMenWomen1. Going online85%83%2. Making personal phone calls55%80%3.

The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives. Aleem Walji works for G - the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He said the companys first project will help identify where infectious (传染性的) diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, G will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats. Gs second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized businesses grow. Walji says microfinance (小额信贷) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says G wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth. G will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways to make renewable (再生的) energy less costly than coal-based energy. The other is examining the efforts being made to increase the use of electric cars.

Some bosses are hard to get along with. Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course, not all bosses are like that. The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development.

But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss? The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事). Observe and understand your bosss work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help you. In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style. 1.
