Good Boss vs. Bad Boss: Pick your poison wisely

John Francis “Jack” Welch, Jr. (born November 19, 1935) was Chairman and CEO of General Electric between 1981 and 2001. Welch gained a solid reputation for uncanny business acumen and unique leadership strategies at GE. He remains a highly-regarded figure in business circles due to his innovative management strategies and leadership style.

One of his many activities after GE is his weekly podcast in BusinessWeek called The Welch Way. Together with her wife Suzy, they dispense no-nonsense advice on business, managing and careers.
