Harvard Business Review: Vol. 5 September - October 2017

---

When Jeff Immelt announced that he was stepping down as chief executive of GE, the Wall Street view of his tenure was tepid. Analysts acknowledged his leadership through 9/11 and the Great Recession. But some also hammered him for the 30% decline in GE’s share price and noted that the company’s stock was the worst-performing component in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Those points, while fair, obscure a bigger one: Immelt utterly remade the organization he inherited from Jack Welch. In “How I Remade GE,” which anchors our Spotlight package, Immelt calls the organization’s revamping “the most consequential makeover in its history.” The company Welch handed him was a productivity machine, a colossus of disparate businesses. But, Immelt says, “I believed that the company couldn’t simultaneously be good at media, pet insurance, and making jet engines.” He set out to fashion a simpler organization focused on industrial businesses—GE’s traditional strength, where the company’s enormous scale could drive growth. In the same way that Welch embodied a certain approach to leadership, Immelt embodied the evolving thinking about leadership and management. Having exited financial services, media and entertainment, and appliances, he invested in wind turbines and other high-margin businesses that run on exceptionally long cycles. He also made a bold bet on digitization. His vision took 16 years to implement and will take more time to play out. Others complain about short-termism, but Immelt did something about it.
