             Yesterday, General Electric unexpectedly

              terminated
             </a>
             their CEO of 14 months, John Flannery, and replaced him with Larry Culp, the first “outside” chief in the company’s 126-year history.

            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             At first blush, it seems like yet another hitch in a terrible year for the beleaguered energy giant — but the news actually sent GE stock
             <a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
              soaring
             </a>
             by as much as 16%.

              Turns out, fired CEOs are good for stock

             Wall Street isn’t typically a big fan of being blindsided by corporate shake-ups… with some exceptions.
            </p>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             Historically,
             <a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
              studies
             </a>
             have shown that when a business isn’t performing so hot, an ousting like Flannery’s gives risk-tolerant investors a renewed sense of hope. As a result, stock goes up.
            </p>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             This “pop” usually doesn’t last long, though: Investors soon realize that a new CEO is often just a Band-Aid solution for much deeper issues.
            </p>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             When the scandal-ridden pharma company, Valeant, replaced its CEO in 2016, stock
             <a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
              shot up
             </a>
             14%, but quickly flatlined. Likewise, when Dick Costolo
             <a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
              quit
             </a>
             as Twitter’s CEO in ’15, an 8% temporary increase was followed by a multi-year stagnation.

              GE has bigger problems than an ineffective CEO
             </strong>

            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             The company has been in a long, slow decline since its heyday in the ’90s, when stock hit $51 per share under CEO Jack Welch.
            </p>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             Jeff Immelt, who succeeded Welch, led GE through
             <a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
              years
             </a>
             of “poorly timed deals and needless complexity” — all of which were inherited by Flannery when he took over the reigns in August 2017.
            </p>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             In 2018 alone, GE stock has fallen by 33%, and the company announced it will “fall short” of its 2018 profit projections due to a “weaker performance” than expected in its power division.
            </p>
            <h4 style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 16px;">

              Ladies and gents, Larry Culp to the plate

            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             If there’s any silver lining to this, it’s that the new guy, Larry Culp, isn’t like the others.
            </p>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             GE has always hired its CEOs from the inside; Culp comes from the technology giant, Danaher, which he grew from $9.7B to $50B in market cap in his
             <a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
              14-year helm
             </a>
             as CEO.
            </p>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             Let’s hope he rights the ship — otherwise, he’ll end up just as Culp-able as the others in GE’s fall from grace.

             California became the first state in the country to require public corporations to have women on their boards after Gov. Jerry Brown
             <a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">

             Taking a page out of Europe’s gender-parity playbook, male-monopolized companies must now let women into their corporate clubhouses by 2021 or face pricey penalties.

             Gender diversity requirements are common in Europe: 12 European countries require at least
             <a style="color: #ed4d1f; text-decoration: none;">
              30%

             Now, California companies with 5 board members must have at least 2 women, and companies with 6+ members must have 3 women.

             The gender-equalizing policy seems to be working so far: The percentage of women on Norwegian corporate boards

              doubled
             </a>
             after Norway passed a law requiring female board representation.

             Hundreds of California companies have all-male boards -- including

             If any of these corporations fail to get women at the table by 2021, they will pay a $100k fine (and potentially $300k for a 2nd offense).

             The controversial law could still be struck down as

              unconstitutional
             </a>

             Last year, we wrote about how budding business humans were o-v-e-r shelling out

             Once a prerequisite for climbing the ranks to a corner office at corporate, the business degree has lost prominence among a new generation of students who are seeking out shorter, more specialized degrees.

             There’s another reason at play: International students, who have historically served as a solid market for US business schools, are facing taller hurdles with work visas, and their enrollment has seen a

              : A field guide for the part of entrepreneurship no one talks about
             </strong>
            </h2>

             Friend of The Hustle Scott Belsky’s new book
             <em>
              The Messy Middle
             </em>
             is officially one of our favorite reads on entrepreneurship.
            </p>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             Why? Because it tackles the unglamorous stage that startup success stories often gloss over: After the excitement of launching a new idea fades and the end is nowhere in sight.
            </p>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             As an early-stage investor in companies like Uber and Pinterest, founder of creative network Behance, and Venture Partner at VC firm Benchmark, Belsky knows firsthand that starting a business isn’t the hardest part -- it’s running one.
            </p>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             Featuring learnings from Belsky and a host of other leaders, this book is about how to put your head down and “endure” when no one else knows (or cares) who you are.
            </p>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             It’s about keeping teams motivated and focused on your vision in the face of uncertainty.
            </p>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             It’s about
             <em>
              sharpening
             </em>
             your edge as you grow, not losing it.

              A few of our favorite takeaways:
             </strong>
            </h4>
            <ul style="margin: 0; padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 24px;">
             <li style="line-height: 120%; padding: 4px 0;">
              Don’t wait until “the last mile” to focus on “the first mile” (onboarding, copy, product tour) of the customer’s experience.
             </li>
             <li style="line-height: 120%; padding: 4px 0;">
              “The only ‘sustainable competitive advantage’ in business is self-awareness.”
             </li>
             <li style="line-height: 120%; padding: 4px 0;">
              “Insecurity work” (checking analytics, what people are saying on Twitter, team progress on projects) may make you
              <em>
               feel
              </em>
              better, but it’s not a replacement for getting sh*t done.
             </li>
            </ul>
            <p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 120%; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 12px;">
             These just scratch the surface, and the entire book is brimming with quotable, actionable mantras for current and aspiring founders alike. We highly recommend giving it a read.
