Book Description:
Jack Welch, the long-time Chairman and CEO of General Electric, has been hailed as the greatest business leader of our era and deservedly so. It was Welch who headed GE from April 1981 to September 2001 and who pioneered some of the most important business strategies of the past two decades. We now take these strategies for granted as part of the way American business is done: restructuring, the emphasis on being number one or number two, making quality a top priority (through his Six Sigma initiative), and so on. Moreover, Welch, unlike most other business leaders, created a tightly woven, carefully scripted business philosophy that provided brief, crisp guidelines for every aspect of business.
