Hot Seat: Hard-Won Lessons in Challenging Times by Jeff Immelt In 2001, Jeff Immelt took over as CEO of General Electric at a time when the company was facing unprecedented challenges. Just weeks into his tenure, the 9/11 terrorist attacks shook the nation and GE's world. With the company's reputation on the line, Immelt had to respond quickly and decisively. Over the next sixteen years, Immelt led GE through numerous crises, including the Global Financial Crisis and the Fukushima nuclear meltdown. Despite his efforts to transform the company into a more global, tech-savvy business, GE struggled in the stock market. In this candid and introspective book, Immelt examines his proudest moments and biggest mistakes, offering a rigorous self-assessment of his leadership. Through Hot Seat, Immelt shares hard-won lessons from his time as CEO, providing valuable insights for anyone looking to navigate complex challenges and make tough decisions.
