For those who don't know Jack welch was the CEO of GE from 1981 to 2001, the market capitalization of GE raised from $14 Billion to $410 billion during his tenure. He adopted Six Sigma from Motorola and famous for his Appraisal policy. He suggests corporates to fire the bottom 10% and give more benefits to top 20%.
