Good business
leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately
own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.
-- John Welch
1935-, American Businessman,
Chairman of General Electric
Our planning
system was dynamite when we first put it in. The thinking
was fresh; the form mattered little. It was idea oriented.
We then hired a head of planning, and he hired two vice
presidents, and then he hired a planner; and the books got
thicker, and the printing more sophisticated, and the covers
got harder, and the drawings got better.
-- John Welch
1935-, American Businessman,
Chairman of General Electric
It is very

stockbrokers do that, and then merely at dinner parties.
