I N SEPTEMBER 2001, Jack Welch was a tough act to follow. Jack Welch led GE to some impressive numbers. And in 2001, the economic tailwinds that Welch enjoyed were about to shift.

One of my favorite Jack Welch quotes is, “The team with the best players wins.” You’ll fail apart from surrounding yourself with talented people.
