Điều khiến Jack Welch hối tiếc

đó là chọn kế nhiệm làm tgđ G.E...

và lái xe thì tổ lái, đi "ngạo nghễ" giữa lòng đường, không thắt dây an toàn (à, cái này thì ông ấy ko hối tiếc)

Jack never held back. In our many conversations, he told me that he regretted choosing Jeff Immelt as his successor (in a public contest, over two other well-regarded executives) and pushing the G.E. board of directors (hội đồng quản trị) to approve his choice. In our conversations, Jack feared that his legacy at G.E. — creating the world's most valuable company, being named the most admired chief executive of the century, and G.E. being the most desirable place to work — had been utterly (hoàn toàn, toàn bộ, tuyệt đối, dứt khoát, cực kỳ, cùng cực) eroded (xói mòn).

Jack, who rarely displayed any hint of self-doubt, told me he had made a mistake of epic proportions, one that had badly damaged the company’s reputation, the value of hundreds of thousands of 401(k)’s and the pensions of former and current G.E. employees.

...The first thing I noticed, as we left the club, was that he wouldn’t fasten his seatbelt (dây an toàn), despite the annoying ringing bell reminding him that he hadn’t. I suggested he put his seatbelt on. He didn’t like seatbelts, he told me. And that was that.

When we got to the end of the mile-long club driveway, Jack turned left onto the main Nantucket thoroughfare leading to the village of Sconset. I assumed he would stay in the lane where he belonged. But he didn’t. For some reason, he decided the rules of the road did not apply to him. He drove the Jeep down the middle of the road, straddling the double-yellow lines.
