Recommendation

Jack Welch, former General Electric CEO and chairman, is a legendary corporate mentor. Fortunately for readers, this book (which he wrote with Suzy Welch, his wife) provides a top-tier mentoring session. The book is well paced with a mix of you-are-here details and stories by one of corporate America's savviest minds. Welch is honest about his mistakes and his successes. The book's only shortcoming is the chapter on family-work balance, an area where Welch admits his weaknesses. Otherwise, his corporate policy discussions score an abundance of points. getAbstract highly recommends this book to senior executives and up-and-coming managers alike.

Take-Aways

  • A successful company creates an energized, enthusiastic environment.
  • A positive attitude is a valuable corporate asset.
  • Winning companies cultivate success with solid mission statements that reflect their core values. Then they live those values.

    Truly insightful look into the mind of the Manager of the Century as named by Forbes. This book serves as the foundation of the Welch Way courses on udemy.com, as well as the Jack Welch eMBA program. Anyone interested in leadership should read it and study it.
