Jack Welch, who led General Electric through two decades of extraordinary corporate prosperity and became the most influential business manager of his generation, has died.

He was 84.

Looks like God top graded the organization and he didn't make the cut.

Who?
famous for the GE style of management where you fire the bottom 15% every year and underpay the top 15%. He thought it was good to have 30% workforce turnover every year.

When my company would hire ex-GE employees we would ask if they were the top 15% or the bottom.

. Maybe. I never worked for GE. But we had plenty of ex-GE roll through with similar mindsets. I was told our company was targeting 20% turnover.

I honestly like the idea of a ~10% forced layoff at the bottom each year if you can effectively recruit new candidates to take their spots.

It is tough to narrow down that 10% though if you aren't measured by very measureable metrics like total sales, etc.

Basically, you'd have to get each manager to nominate 10% of their groups to be laid off I guess and trust their opinions.

ETA:

Better in theory than in practice.
