Rather than whining about the pending uncertainty post-Brexit, GE’s Jeff Immelt lays out an actionable plan. He has no choice, with significant revenue and operations globally he cannot let the prevailing political sentiment interfere with his quest to deliver value for shareholders.
He points to the positive role that businesses play in global political discourse:
“Sometimes businesses can drive change faster than governments. It is tough to hate a company that is creating jobs. Our revenue outside the U.S. has grown sixfold since 2000, and we expect that to continue.”
Rhetoric does not matter, irrespective of your political bias, employment and personal economic prosperity do.
