When Giants Must Learn to Dance
The story begins in 2017 with a woman walking away from three decades at one of America's most iconic companies. Beth Comstock left General Electric just as it was being removed from the Dow Jones Industrial Average after 110 years-a symbolic fall from grace that would have crushed most executives. But here's what makes her story remarkable: she wasn't running from failure. She was carrying forward hard-won wisdom about how massive organizations can survive in a world that punishes the inflexible. Her journey from a shy, divorced single mother to Vice Chair of GE reads less like a corporate playbook and more like a field guide for navigating uncertainty itself. The central tension? How do you transform a hundred-year-old industrial giant into something nimble enough to compete with startups, without losing the very strengths that made it great in the first place? This is a story about giving yourself permission to imagine what others can't see yet, about embracing the productive power of being an outsider, and about having the courage to color outside the lines when everyone around you is still searching for the ruler.
