Business the Jack Welch Way 10 Secrets of the World's Greatest Turnaround King

Jack Welch is one of the most successful and controversial business leaders the world has ever seen. When he took the helm at GE, then a model of the American corporate way, he was 45, the youngest chief the company had ever appointed. Welch transformed a hitherto cautious company, and put his dynamic mark on corporate America at the same time. GE's businesses were overhauled. Some were cast out and hundreds of new businesses were acquired. Fortune called Welch "the toughest boss in America". GE became a leaner and fitter organization: any com-placency was eradicated. This extraordinary change program has become the benchmark for 21st century business. How does he do it? Now brought completely up to date for this new edition, Business the Jack Welch Way not only reveals the secrets of Welchs' remarkable success but also draws out the universal lessons and identifies strategies that can be applied to any business or career. From killing bureaucracy to talking straight, and from investing in people to dominating your market (or getting out of it)you have in your hands the secret of phenomenal success.Crainer, Stuart is the author of 'Business the Jack Welch Way 10 Secrets of the World's Greatest Turnaround King', published 2002 under ISBN 9781841121512 and ISBN 1841121517.
