Customer Reviews

Jack is an inspiration!

Behind the complicated practices of the business world stand the simplicities of Jack Welch's philosophy. Here's a simple "How to" book that tells the story of 'what it takes to grow a successful business' all guided by Jack Welch's resume tales. Great read filled with anecdotes.

A decent overview, but perhaps a bit deceptive

The book is a quick read about how Jack Welch manages. At least how the author thinks he manages. The author cobbles these thoughts from articles and other sources. For the most part it works--the book gives good insights into leadership and motivation. But a lot of it might be deceptive. For instance, the author takes a principle that Jack Welch has espoused in the past, and then fills in the details with his own related thoughts, and those of other management gurus. So, often times you are actually learning what someone else thinks about the topic--not Jack Welch's opinion. As long as this is taken into consideration, the book provides interesting lessons on how to manage and motivate people.
