It still puzzles me that these folks, with all the experience they have and the number of good advices they can get...they still do not get it that unless you inspire employees and provide them with a vision, the organization will never follow you, and you ultimately will fail as the leader of that organization. It's a truth deeply rooted in human nature, and there are countless of management books on this. Still they do not get it. If you do not provide employees with a vision and with the prospect of personal growth and that things will be better, they will never follow you. Because they will die. Humans die if they cannot project themselves in a better future. This lad earns millions, and still do not get this basic truth. He will fail, just because of that.
I agree with the person that originally posted this ( @VHmK71S-kkj ). Having a leader that can make the organization believe in his ideas and unite it towards a common goal is crucial, especially in a complex structure like GE is.
(if some clarification is needed, given that I took this post from another thread on this board, the OP is addressing the company management in his post)
