I can’t comment on GE, but I have observed this tendency many times in my decades as a business adviser. Decide whether you’re a winner who’ll hit great numbers, or a loser who isn’t up to the job. GOOD MANAGEMENTCompanies soar when led by effective managers, but there is a lot of luck and a lot of cyclicality in business numbers. Every business suffers downturns; every hit product runs out of steam; every business model has its time and its place and must be reinvented after every few years. I have said it before: Don’t make business a rat race.
