All these senior management types that praise Welch's philosophies seem disconnected from the real world. They seem to think that by constantly managing out under performers (even mediocre staff) and striving to only employ high performers, everything will be peachy keen. Sorry but this just doesn't fit the real world because in every company, there will be menial tasks. Menial tasks that high performers will refuse to perform. Look at sports teams. The Chicago Bulls needed utility players to surround Jordan. Does anyone think a team of 5 MJ's or Lebron's would succeed over the long run?
