Want to Win? Here’s Some Practical Advice from Jack Welch – Knowledge@Wharton: “For example, Welch told how he ‘blew up a plant’ in his first year with GE (actually, an explosion in a tank at a pilot plastics factory under his supervision tore a hole in the roof). His manager sent him to see their mutual boss who, to Welch’s surprise, didn’t fire him. He listened to Welch’s explanation and told him not to let it happen again. Years later, Welch felt like a swine when the Wall Street Journal wrote a spate of front-page stories on the Kidder Peabody scandal. Amid the bad publicity, he and others at GE were called ‘crooks and jokes.’ ‘Your career isn’t always linear,’ he said. ‘But what matters is how well you get back on the horse.’ “
