In this episode, I talked to Jeff Immelt, the former CEO of General Electic, arguably one of the largest companies, on to talk about his new book, Hot Seat: What I Learned Leading a Great American Company. We also talked about his journey, how he became the CEO, and also a couple of strategic decisions that GE made, or did not make. My new book Skip The Line is out!
