Sponsored by The Jack Welch Management Institute at Strayer University Being a leader is about more than telling people what to do.
The way you manage your team and interact with those around you affects every aspect of your company – whether you work with three people or three thousand.
And one person who knows more about this than most is Jack Welch.
As one of the most successful business leaders in the world, Welch has helped countless individuals and companies to grow and develop by honing their management skills.
He was also the CEO who saw General Electric's market capitalization soar from $13 billion to over $400 billion during his 21-year tenure at the company.
As Welch says, as a leader, 'It's your flat-out responsibility to not just go into work every day and improvise around the latest crisis or email flurry or employee meltdown.
'But instead to go into work every day with a cohesive plan of action about how you're going to lead.
'Otherwise, why would anyone follow you, except that they simply have to? That's no good.'
And although there is no 'right' way to manage a team, there is often a common denominator in today's best leaders.
