Career Advice from CEO of Ford China

I was on the way KL on Monday and read all the papers available on the aircraft as usual. The most memorable and impactful was the article on the new CEO of Ford China. He works in GE before and he says the best career advice was from Jim McNerney. He says the easiest way to get fired in GE is not to do what Jack Welch asked you to do. The 2nd easiest to get fired in GE is to do what Jack Welch asked you to do and do it when you know it is wrong.
