Two days later, Jack Welch turned out not to be speechless either when it came to rubbishing the appointment. The HP board had “committed sins”, he said. “They end up blowing up the CEOs and don’t have anyone else in mind to come in. Where the hell was the leadership development? Who are these board members?”

两天后,当各方开始抨击这项任命时,杰克•韦尔奇(Jack Welch)也打破沉默,发表了自己的高论。他说,惠普董事会“是在犯罪”。“这个决定彻底惹恼了众多CEO。他们心中竟然没有考虑过其他任何人选。他们 把领导力培养丢到什么地方去了?这些董事究竟是干什么吃的?”
