NBC收视第一的《老友记》要剧终时，CEO Zucker飞到纽约去见GE集团的大老板Jeff Immelt（NBC是GE旗下），希望能再续订一年，当时《老友记》的制作费已经达到1000万美元一集（Warner Bros | “then the highest price in TV history“），Jeff在Hot Seat里写到他一开始应对entertainment的心态：《金刚》的制作费是两亿美元，他想着这完全可以建一座高配塑料工厂了。原来CEO condidates marathon也是HR老大跟高层一起写job description，然后董事会拿jd当标准挑投票。入行十年，虽是竞品，这样读下来亲切之余依然感慨，跟Wework的资本游戏比，制造业真是牛马一般，专业务实。
很多小细节了解了这种level ceo的抉择
Immelt仿佛在叙述和ex的点点滴滴，有高潮有低谷，他最终还是走出来了。
阅读体验U形，他当然是给自己辩护了，很多不利的细节、操作不会讲，不过还可以吧。比ligh out好点，那本总觉得有记者猎奇的味道。
挺不容易的
GE还是一个非常令人尊敬的公司，至今也是。杰克韦尔奇真的在07-09年大学管院的神，或者神一样的管理大师存在，当然老师推荐的书也是没有能看的。只是追随者的Jeff 及其后面的表现让这家公司，让杰克拉下神坛。果然造神运动不可靠，美国亦是如此。
这本书我只是觉得非常让人唏嘘，感觉很是痛苦。当然里面涉及非常多的细节，包括如何做继承者计划，如何看待不忠心的下属，如何看待和董事会的斡旋，如何看待媒体，如何和政府打交道，都非常诚实和出奇的坦荡，不是那种备受追捧企业家的夸夸其谈，真是一本好书，比我看到的saleforce老板写的那种书都好。作为庸庸路人，暂且不考虑战略和如何评价ge，但是Jeff作为这家掌舵16年的舵手，也不是好被一般人给诟病的。当然，Jeff自认为不错的部分，路人依然会以批判眼光来看
