John F. Welch Jr., CEO of General Electric, identifies four types of managers:
1) People who deliver on commitments and share the new values—retain and reward these people;
2) People who don't meet commitments and don't share the new values—these people must go;
3) People who sometimes fail to meet their commitments, but who share the values—give them a second chance;
4) People who meet commitments but don't share the values—they must change or go, because their results aren't worth the price.

| Powerless | Empowered |

| Are insecure | Are self-confident |
| See "them and us" | See "we" |
| Focus on task | Focus on result |
| Follow rules | Take risks |
| CYA (cover your assets) | |
| See win/loss issues | See win/win issues |
Hire consultants for skills. Hire senior people for attitude and ability. Hire the right personality for the job at hand. Never Rush A Hire and Settle.
