Most GE managers are NOT managers, they just know how to make power point slides. A manager hires good talent, develops them, and advances their careers. So the managers career can grow also. Very few GE managers do any coaching or mentoring of their folks. For they don't know how to do it based on it not being a GE trait so they can't learn from other folks at GE. Only folks from the outside have this different perspective.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Great post @Zh6ZJfk-cbd
