Reading I: 1. Jack Welch is Chief Executive Officer of General Electric.
In the extracts below he talks about leadership. Before you read what he says,
try to predict which of the adjectives above describe his idea of a good leader.
2. Read what Jack Welch thinks and check your answers. Do you agree
with him?
“I simply dislike the traits that have come to be associated with
"managing" - controlling, stifling people, keeping them in the dark, wasting their
time on details and reports. You can't manage self-confidence into people.
You have to get out of their way and let it grow in them by allowing them to
win, and then rewarding them when they do. The word "manager" has too
often come to be synonymous with control - cold, uncaring, passionless. I
never associate passion with the word "manager", and I've never seen a leader
without it”.
“Above all else good leaders are open. They go up, down, and around
their organisations to reach people. They don't join to established channels.
They're informal. They're straight with people. They make a religion out of
being accessible”.
“One of the things about leadership is that you cannot be a moderate,
balanced, thoughtful, careful articulator of policy. You've got to be on the
lunatic fringe”.
“The future will not belong to "managers" or those who can make the
numbers dance. The world will belong to passionate, driven leaders - people
who not only have enormous amounts of energy but who can energize those
whom they lead”.
3. Discuss these questions. Imagine you are the leader of a large
company.
1) What qualities do you need to run a large company effectively?
2) Which business leaders do you admire? Why?
3) What do business leaders actually do?
4) As a leader, how would you motivate your employees?
5) Do you think leaders are born or made?
