Mentoring - Jack Welch - Former CEO & Chairman for GE

Captured from CSPAN interview. Welch was at the helm of GE from 1981-2001. Jack says that mentoring was the "worst idea, ever", but I think he means that about mentoring from a single person. Jack advocates that people starting out should create your own style by observing and working with as many people as you can and by reading voraciously.

Why do we worship people like Jack Welch? He made millions maybe billions , but do we ask how? GE was made by hard working middle class americans, not him. He sent many of those jobs overseas to people who work for pennies. Thats not being smart thats greed straight up. Of course hes not the only one, many companies did this, but GE became the biggest. Why is our economy shot? Why does the government have to provide all kinds of bailouts? Ask Jack where our jobs went.
