Summary: Insightful for Executives and useful to their Assistants
Review: This is a must-read, fabulous and fun (quick to read) book. I've never read such a straightforward and insightful look into the specific daily routine, style, and approach of a top executive. Every executive and their assistant should read. From Badowski's invaluable list on page 114 (how to prepare Jack so he was effective in meetings) to Chapter 11 on simplicity and how the annual calendar shaped Jack's routine, I picked up so many practical tips. And if you only read four pages, read pp. 156 - 159. I personally enjoyed the insider stories behind the Kidder Peabody mess and how Jack handles adversity (hint, he doesn't spend one minute looking in the past), to what Jack emotional felt when he had to let an executive go. You just don't get these kinds of insights anyplace else. Ironically, Jack Welch's book was published September 11, 2001!! In turn, Rosanne's book was published the first day of the Iraqi war. I do hope the two of them avoid writing second books for a decade or two!!
