Yeah, and they were achieving thirty three and forty inventory turns a year.

And Welch spent the entire night grilling them on the mechanics of how they achieved those numbers.

But here's where it gets really interesting.
voice-verified
But wait, doesn't this cross the line into micromanaging?
voice-verified

voice-verified
I mean you are paying executives millions of dollars to run these divisions.
voice-verified
Okay, what's the difference?
voice-verified
They were just probing.
voice-verified
So they are checking the math.
voice-verified
They aren't doing the math for you, but they are making absolutely sure you can show your work.
voice-verified
But to do that, you know, to constantly challenge people, to expose flaws in a plan without just making everyone hate you, that requires a very specific psychological makeup.

And there's a story in the sources about a CEO who completely lacked the stamina.
voice-verified

voice-verified

voice-verified

voice-verified

voice-verified
He was too comfortable with the VP.
voice-verified
And the board eventually lost patience and fired the VP themselves.
voice-verified
Wow.
voice-verified
This raises an important question.
