a company is rather like a marriage. When it's going well,

are not charitable enterprises: They hire workers to make
profits. In the United States, this logic still works. In

- I started
with identifying within the fluidity of Chinese philosophical
thinking and the science of western management, the co-ordinates
upon which we could format a seamless management structure.
Building on this foundation, the company structure becomes
a life-force that supports the development of each division
of business.

have traveled and walked into more variety stores than anybody

- Before
at GE, we generally used to tell people what to do. And they
did exactley what they were told to do, and not one other
thing. Now we are constantly amazed by how much people will
do when they are not told to do by management.

- Above
all, good leaders are open. They go up, down, and around their
organization to reach people. They don't stick to the established
channels. They're informal. They're straight with people.
They make a religion out of being accessible. They never get
bored telling their story.

about GE that hasn't been told is the value of an informal
