Summary: Staying competitive... how GE did it
Review: The modern business world is a hyper-competitive environment that moves soooo quickly. Jack Welch gives great insights into what it took to make that elephant that is GE do a tap dance. Great book.

Summary: A man of ideas
Review: Readers of this book get the unmistakable sense that this guy is an ideas man. He got a company from someone else and spun it around through ideas. By doing this infact he has put into practice what other ideas men before him have always maintained that the true gold is in the mind and not the earth. There are those who say that the only thing Jack Welch concerned himself with was mergers and acquisitions. Well those people are clearly inaccurate. How many business leaders seek the opinion of an army colonel for a business direction. This is clearly the literal meaning of thinking out of the box. Jack Welch is a corporate legend and his book should be in the syllabus of business schools and other institutions of leadership.

Summary: I LOVED this book, YOU will too!
Review: What a great and compelling story Jack tells. One of the least told and most important parts of our collective history is what happens at Global Corporations like GE. These companies directly touch hundreds of thousands of families. Jack's stewardship through turbulent times proved Reg Jones prescience; he was the right man for the job. As far as readability goes, the style and pace of the writing captures just enough of Jack's 'straight from the gut' attitude that makes it a very, very enjoyable read.
I highly recommend this book and look forward to Immelt's book in 2020.

Summary: I am almost ashamed to keep this book on our shelves
Review: A good book to get the inside "going ons" from a CEO's perspective. If you have interest in GE and the happenings through Mr. Welch's eyes this is a good read.I was hoping to get a little more insight and direction regarding the key elements of running an extremely successful business. Outside of the "people are everything" and weed out the bottom feeders, there was little practical knowledge to be taken from the book and used by manager "want-to-be" types.
