English term or phrase: hard-charging era

If you said �Jack� on Wall Street in the 1980s and 1990s, most people knew immediately who you were talking about; if you said �Jack� around any of General Electric�s global employees during the same time frame you could expect those in earshot to look over a shoulder to see whether their effervescent boss was around before articulating appropriately. Welch commanded that kind of attention. He was an icon running an icon, a kind of brand within a brand, during a robust business growth environment when talented and ambitious leaders and the companies they ran could seemingly do no wrong. When Welch talked, his zest and pragmatism defined what was becoming of the hard-charging era
