A CEO can make such overrides from time to time, but Tichy warns that they have a limit: "If he or she keeps making calls against the majority, even though you're the CEO of the company you begin to undermine the people, alignment, and support."

When is the right time to pull rank? That depends. According to Tichy, Immelt is known to solicit input from those around him before making a decision. But he's also earned a reputation for trusting his instincts, as best articulated by the catchphrase used to describe him in Leadership: "Boom, then I make the decision."

The final step of Immelt's judgment was execution. "Jeff understands that his job in the judgment process is not only to make the call, but to make certain in the execution phase that the [appropriate] adjustments are made, the learning happens, and that there's a payoff," says Tichy.

Since GE is a company of many unique businesses, most adjustments rely on cooperation among the heads of each business unit. This was one of the toughest parts of the execution process, according to GE spokesperson Peter O'Toole: "Ecomagination had to enable our business leaders to work better with their customers," O'Toole says. "It couldn't be an 'unfunded mandate' from corporate. So there had to be give-and-take with our top leaders to ensure we were helping our customers."
