In 2005 and 2006, Barron's magazine named Immelt one of the World's Best CEO's. Under his leadership, GE has been named "America's Most Admired Company" in a poll conducted by FORTUNE magazine and the world's most respected company in polls conducted by Barron's and the Financial Times. Immelt addresses the Darden community in the Abbott Center Auditorium. Part of Darden's 50th Anniversary Speaker Series.

Not admired anymore!!! Just another overpaid, overrated MBA who just sold out American employees and tanked the company stock only to fatten his absurd pay.

At 14.50 per share, GE has lost $503 billion of shareholder’s equity since 1999 (77% of its value), including $291 billion (65%) since its collapse in 2007. GE has also lost $55 billion of shareholder’s value (about 26% of its value) since its high of $19.70 in April of 2010. Terrible decisions by terrible managers. That’s what GE is about!

After 10 years of review, I now believe that Jack Welch did the right thing by having a CEO competition and picking Jeff as the new CEO.
What a great leader-teacher.
God knows where the GE would be if Robert Nardelli was the CEO
