We sure could use some of that operational excellence stuff around here. podcast-host
I think that would really be good for the company. podcast-host
GE is the consensus best place to look in America for management. podcast-host
Yes. podcast-host
So in November of 2000, Jack Welch announces that Jeffrey Immelt will be his successor to take over as GE's next CEO. podcast-host
And Ben, as you were alluding to, the other two candidates for the GE job were James McNerney, who quickly leaves to become the CEO of 3M. podcast-host
Yeah, we all know how that turned out. podcast-host
And then the other candidate, Bob Nardelli, who Ken Langone, again, being on the GE board here, knows well and loves, loves Bob. podcast-host
So immediately after the succession news comes out at GE, Ken calls up Nardelli and pulls out the same line that he used on Bernie 20 years earlier. podcast-host
You've just been hitting the ass with a golden horseshoe. podcast-host
Guess what we are going to do together now that you didn't get the GE CEO job. podcast-host
I'm going to bring you into Home Depot. podcast-host
So the board immediately pivots and offers Nardelli the president and COO job and says, you'll come in, you'll be here for a little while. podcast-host
Arthur's going to retire. podcast-host
You will be his appointed successor. podcast-host
And so to incentivize Nardelli to take this job, they say, we'll make you whole on your GE stock options. podcast-host
We're going to give you $150 million in podcast-host
equity package to come join Home Depot. podcast-host
Bob says, okay, great. podcast-host
I clearly can't stay here at GE. podcast-host
