The following is a statement from Robert Silberman, Executive
Chairman, Strategic Education, Inc.:
Today the Jack Welch Management Institute, and indeed the whole
world, lost a great mentor, a true business legend and an
extraordinary human being. Over 10 years ago, Jack Welch had the
vision to transform business education, uniting his unmatched track
record of business success, enormous love of people, fierce passion
for winning and unbridled desire to improve the world using his
proven management canon. Today, his vision shines on in over 2,000
students, 2,000 alumni, and 150 faculty and staff of the Jack Welch
Management Institute at Strayer University.
Many of us had the pleasure of working side-by-side with Jack
over the past decade to build this school. We were privileged to
learn from one of the best business minds of the last century. Jack
is far more than JWMI’s namesake. His principles and people
management practices define our school. From the beginning, his
challenge was clear - have a distinct value proposition, be
customer-centric, have a singular focus, create content that is
practical and applicable, and deliver returns for our students.
And, most importantly, have fun.
JWMI was Jack’s passion and now, his legacy. He loved meeting
with students. He cheered the stories of raises, promotions and
professional achievement. He challenged faculty and staff to treat
students like customers, and put their success at the center of
everything we do. He gave straight, candid feedback but always
treated people with dignity. He wanted everyone to “win” - with our
teams, in our personal lives, and our communities. And most
importantly, Jack expressed a deep appreciation for all those
working to make the JWMI community great. Jack loved JWMI, and it
showed in everything he did.
There are really no adequate words to describe our collective
loss. However I am 100% confident that Jack’s teachings, mentorship
and friendship will not only keep us going, but will live on in the
success of his students. Both his students today, and those who are
yet to come.
