2. Consider the contrasting examples of Johnny Bravo, the opening story of the Air Force captain who risked his own life to save 22 other pilots, and Jack Welch, the former CEO of GE who increased corporate earnings by nearly 5x, yet prioritized profits over people and earned the derisive nickname of “Neutron Jack” for firing underperforming managers. The simple leadership takeaway is to espouse the lessons of the former while avoiding the style of the latter. Yet leadership is a complex phenomenon and most leaders live somewhere in between.
