Abstract: Abstract During the initial panic of the “Great Recession of 2009” John Chambers, the CEO of Cisco Systems, told the New York Times of a crucial lesson he had learned nearly a decade before from Jack Welch when he was CEO of GE.1 Chambers had asked, “Jack, what does it take to have a great company?” Welch responded, “It takes major setbacks … by that I mean, a near-death experience!”
