Jack Welch, the "Manager of the Century" who brought General Electric back to life
American writer and businessman. Former CEO of General Electric.
We know that many of the world leaders were not made overnight, but had to work hard to get what they wanted. But over time, only a few people leave such an impact on the world that it truly benefits future generations.

Inspiring Leaders
Stephen Hawking, the man who explored the universe from a wheelchair
British Theoretical Physicist, Astrophysicist, Cosmologist and Scientific Popularizer.
In the world of science they are used to big numbers and probabilities. But how likely could it have been that this young British physicist who was given no more than 3 years to live would have become one of the most prolific physicists of our time?
Stephen Hawking's simple survival would have been a medical marvel, but of course it wasn't just that: he became one of the world's most famous scientists, hailed as a great researcher, for his best-selling books, and for his stunning triumph over adversity.
Andrew Carnegie, the richest man of the 19th century
Scottish American Businessman, Industrial Tycoon and Philanthropist.
As we have seen in previous editions, just as there are great businessmen and leaders who inherited wealth and large companies, we have also presented extraordinary cases of struggle, sacrifice and overcoming. But few like the case of Andrew Carnegie.
A man who went from surviving famine and poverty, to becoming the second richest man in history, then donating much of his wealth to building libraries, universities, and fighting global inequality. Without a doubt, an example to follow.
Jules Verne, the writer who "prophesied" the future of the industry
French writer, playwright, poet and lawyer.
What does a writer need to be considered one of the greatest of all time? For the Industry Leader of this occasion, who in life even mentioned that he would never be, he only had to join the two things that he most enjoyed doing in life: science and literature.
He knows the Success Story of Jules Verne, one of the writers who is considered one of the best science fiction novelists of all time.
Erin Brockovich and her corporate "David vs. Goliath" struggle
Environmental Activist and American Celebrity, President of Brockovich Research & Consulting.
By the time Erin Brockovich was 31, she had gone from being a twice-divorced single mother of three with no career at all, to working as a file clerk for a law firm that could barely keep up, and then to being the cornerstone in what would be the largest settlement ever paid in a corporate lawsuit in the United States.
Thanks to her curiosity and common sense, she was able to put together a case against the Pacific Gas & Electric (PG & E) utility company, accusing them of environmental pollution and obtaining around $333 million dollars for the more than 600 lawsuits she collected.
