	Practicing More Than Jack Preached
		Jeff had been publicly named as Jack's successor but was still months away from assuming the job.
		Jeff was, to use a phrase by Jack, completely "comfortable in his own skin." He showed remarkable self-confidence and poise, not arrogance or cockiness.
		As Jeff said, "Good leaders are very curious, and they spend a lot of time trying to learn things." Jeff said he tries to set aside 20% of his time for thinking and reconceptualizing, trying to grapple with future opportunities, rather than day-to-day business.

		Immelt, 48, is less a commander than a commanding presence--one of those natural leaders around whom a group tends to spontaneously organize.
