For generations, it was job security, a solidly safe investment, and an elite business education for top managers.<\/p>\n<p> GE\u00a0electrified America,\u00a0powering everything\u00a0from lightbulbs\u00a0to\u00a0turbines,\u00a0and became fully integrated into the American societal mindset as few companies ever had. And after two decades of leadership under legendary CEO Jack Welch, GE entered the twenty-first century as America\u2019s most valuable corporation. Yet, fewer than two decades later, the GE of old was gone.<\/p>\n<p> \u200bLights Out examines how Welch\u2019s handpicked successor, Jeff Immelt, tried to fix flaws in Welch\u2019s profit machine, while stumbling headlong into mistakes of his own. In the end, GE\u2019s traditional win-at-all-costs driven culture seemed to lose its direction, which ultimately caused the company\u2019s decline on both a personal and organizational scale. Lights Out details how one of America\u2019s all-time great companies has been reduced to a cautionary tale for our times.<br \/> \u00a0    <\/p>\n<p> ASIN                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 B084D28MBV <br \/> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Mariner Books (July 21, 2020) <br \/> Publication date                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 July 21, 2020 <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> File size                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1338 KB <br \/> Text-to-Speech                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Screen Reader                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Supported <br \/> Enhanced typesetting                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> X-Ray                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Word Wise                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Print length                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 386 pages <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book readable and well-written.
