“When we classified … [our] … businesses, and when we realized that they were going to have quite different missions, we also realized we had to have quite different people running them. That was where we began to see the need to meld our human resources planning and management with the strategic planning we were doing.” (Reginald H. Jones, former chairman and CEO of the General Electric Co.) “I believe the only game in town is the personnel game … My theory is if you have the right person in the right place, you don't have to do anything else … If ‘you don't have the right person in the right place, ‘you have a problem. If you have the wrong person in the job, there's no management system known to man that can save you.” (Walter Wriston, former Chairman and CEO of Citicorp)
