Welch column in BW also bites dust

A management column written by former General Electric CEO Jack Welch and his wife Suzy in BusinessWeek has ended, writes Keith Kelly of the New York Post.

The column had been another move by departing editor-in-chief Stephen Adler to overhaul the magazine.

Kelly writes, “Welch, who recently ended a 14-week hospital stay, told the Post it was an amicable parting. He wants to devote more time to the Jack Welch Institute, an online MBA program at the for-profit Chancellor University System.

“‘We did it for four years and it was tougher than we ever thought,’ Welch said. ‘Every Sunday it was like a guillotine hanging over our heads.'”

Talking Biz News reported earlier Friday that CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo‘s column in the magazine was also ending.
