Jack Welch knows how to win. During his forty-year career
at General Electric, he led the company to year-after-year
success around the globe, in multiple markets, against
brutal competition. His honest, be-the-best style of
management became the gold standard in business, with his
relentless focus on people, teamwork, and profits. Since Welch retired in 2001 as chairman and chief executive
officer of GE, he has traveled the world, speaking to more
than 250,000 people and answering their questions on dozens
of wide-ranging topics. Inspired by his audiences and their hunger for
straightforward guidance, Welch has written both a
philosophical and pragmatic book, which is destined to
become the bible of business for generations to come. It
clearly lays out the answers to the most difficult
questions people face both on and off the job. Welch's objective is to speak to people at every level of
an organization, in companies large and small. His audience
is everyone from line workers to MBAs, from project
managers to senior executives. His goal is to help everyone
who has a passion for success. Welch begins Winning with an introductory section
called "Underneath It All," which describes his business
philosophy. He explores the importance of values, candor,
differentiation, and voice and dignity for all. The core of Winning is devoted to the real "stuff" of work.
This main part of the book is split into three sections.
The first looks inside the company, from leadership to
picking winners to making change happen. The second section
looks outside, at the competition, with chapters on
strategy, mergers, and Six Sigma, to name just three. The
next section of the book is about managing your career --
from finding the right job to achieving work-life balance. Welch's optimistic, no excuses, get-it-done mind-set is
riveting. Packed with personal anecdotes and written in
Jack's distinctive no b.s. voice, Winning offers deep
insights, original thinking, and solutions to nuts-and-
bolts problems that will change the way people think about
work.
