Patrick Daniel, a Fellow at Harvard University who attended a talk by former GE CEO Jack Welch in University's Spangler Hall, says, "When Jack talked, everyone stayed quiet and listened. When they didn't listen, they laughed. With every passing minute, as students decided to leave, I got closer to Jack and eventually got a seat. In conversation with HBS professor Ranjay Gulati, Jack shared many insights.
It was through stories and anecdotes that Jack revealed his authentic character and originality. He spoke his mind. And honesty breeds respect," writes Daniel in his blog on Huffington Post .
