There’s no such thing as a 130-year plan.
We pass the test of time because we invent things that make the world work better, and along the way we reinvent ourselves to make a company that works better.

same is our commitment to the continuous

At GE, leaders inspire others to be their best.
This is the foundation of our commitment to leadership development. We believe that everyone at GE can be a leader – and we believe that when one person grows and improves, we all can grow and improve.
And together,
Our culture drives our longevity. Our leaders drive our culture.
We prove ourselves before we lead others
We learn by doing because there is no better way
We build relationships and share knowledge
By leading at all levels, we work as one.
Leaders connect people with the processes that keep us all rising together.
Improving performance drives us all.
Goals and objectives are set for each individual and reviewed regularly, and their performance measured against them.
Our G&O system ensures individual and organization goals are aligned and enables feedback throughout the year.
