As the CEO, Jack improves GE internally, using "Work Out." Bureaucratic barriers are destroyed and replaced with an informal and entrepreneurial environment of exchange and encouragement. Jack wants to do the same externally. A boundaryless company tears down external walls, making suppliers and customers part of a single process. It eliminates race and gender walls and puts egos aside. Not only does the inventor receive credit, but those who develop the inventor's idea as well. Jack has always been a proponent for just recognition and differentiation between expected performance and exceptional achievements.
