Personal Statement

Jack Welch went from nothing to CEO of GE. With his both his parents behind him all the way, Jack Welch knew he could do anything he put his mind to. He grew up in a small town called Salem and moved to the big town of Fairfield, Conneticut. This is where he became the CEO of GE using his many helpful skills: Hardworking, Teamwork, Friendliness, and Cooperation with the hard tasks that came through made him what he wanted.

In his high school, he participated in sports such as, hockey, baseball, and football. Hockey was the only sport he was succeeded in though. After high school Welch went to UM where he pledged for Phi Sigma Kappa. At UM he graduated with his degree in chemical engineering. After UM, Welch wanted to go to University of Illinois, where he got his Ph.D. Before attending the University of Illinois, he had many corporate job offers handed to him, but he declined because he wanted to be called Dr. Through out his whole college career he had professors, other students, and his parents to back him up and help him with anything he needed to pursue the future he had in mind.

After a hard college career, he had several job openings for him to pick from but he only liked two the best. Exxon or General Electric, at Exxon he would work in a development labratory and at GE he would work in a new chemical development operation. His final choice was GE, and he has stuck with it every since he retired. His hardwork attitude along with many of his other great traits, helped him gain the friends and higher positions as he deserved. He started off as a engineer and made it all the way to the top as CEO in 1980.

While at GE he faced many problems along the way. At one point while Welch was in charge the whole roof blew off of a pilot plant. As Welch being the boss at the time he was at fault. He had to go to group executives and explain everythign that had happened. He wasn't calm at all but with the ease from Charlie Reed, he knew that he would not be getting in much trouble for this. It was as simple mistake that happened to him and he knew he had to mix his mistake. This is what helped Jack become CEO.

As CEO everyone loved him. He helped everyone out with their problems and tried to make the situation better. This is why he would also be perfect as a principal. He loves to children and thinks that they are sometimes easier to work with than stubborn adults. The principal job at Gahanna would be great for him since he knows how to lead people in the right direction. Jack Welch retired as CEO 2001 and has only been helping other people nationwide with his wife along his side.



Dear Mr. Welch,

I just wanted to take my time to tell you how much I am grateful for you coming into my work. I know that everyone at the office is talking about how much of an impression you have made on all of us. After telling us about how to succeed in the long run, everyone is trying to act nice and get promoted. I hav taken everything you said in consideration and am trying to further my career than just sitting behind my desk trying to get my work done. I now know that I should try and over achieve and that hopefully my other employees and bosses see that I am more than just that average desk worker. You have helped me so much by just making your books, they have inspired me to be more and on top of my game. Thanks for making them again and for coming into my work, it would have been great if you were CEO of my business.

Sincerely,

By Paul Glader
//From the [|World Business Forum]:// Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch sharply criticized Hewlett-Packard’s board of directors on Tuesday at the World Business Forum in New York. Reuters Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch at the World Business Forum “The Hewlett-Packard board has committed sins over the last 10 years,” said Mr. Welch. “They have not done one of the primary jobs of a board, which is to prepare the next generation of leadership.” Leadership development, Mr. Welch contended, “was very low on the priority of leadership at that company.” The tech giant is on its third CEO in about 11 years. Mark Hurd quit in August over allegations of expense-report improprieties; the board ousted former chief Carly Fiorina in 2005 after a controversial tenure. Mr. Welch blamed the turnover on the board during a conversation with Alan Murray of the Wall Street Journal at the Forum, held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Mr. Welch said a board’s job is to pick CEOs, help them shape strategy, make them feel good about themselves, and, if the CEO isn’t doing a good job, to “get them the hell out of there.” “This crowd [at H-P] doesn’t seem to do any of that,” said Mr. Welch. “They end up blowing up the CEO’s and don’t have anyone else in mind to come in. Where the hell was the leadership development? Who are these board members?” Mr. Murray asked if Mr. Welch knows any of the board members. “I wouldn’t admit it if I did,” said Mr. Welch. An H-P spokeswoman declined to comment.

Ms. Emily Straub Director of Human Resources Gahanna Jefferson Schools 140 South Hamilton Road Gahanna, OH 43230

Dear Mrs. Straub,

I have just come upon a job at your school and it seems that you are resigning unfortunately. But I am indeed the right man to take over GLHS. In 2001 I left GE as a CEO, and now am looking for the job of a principal. I have already shown that I can take care of a huge group of people and help everyone to get them on the right path. I will bring happiness to the students and staff while also sticking to the rules. I believe that without rules, we would be living in a zoo of people. I think that I would just need to get to know each grade and how they react to things. After I have done this I will be able to turn the student body around that object to a positive future for their year. I know I would be love by the whole staff because I get along with every type of person, no matter what the case is. I do not judge people on their looks or their first impressions, I look inside the person and how they act towards others. If I get this job I will make sure every child or adult knows my number one rule and respects it. That rule is to treat everyone how you want to be treated. I just want to thank you for taking the time to read this. And I would be more than happy to extend my response on this job and my other qualifications for it also. Please give me a call at (678) 654-9873 or you can call my office of Welch and Co. at (678) 654-7485. Or if you do not get any answer you can email me at Welchman_09999@ymail.com. I look forward to talking with you about this job offer.

Sincerely,

Jack Welch
