In Winning, their 2005 international bestseller, Jack and Suzy Welch created a rare document, both a philosophical treatise on fundamental business practices and a gritty how-to manual, all of it delivered with Jack's trademark candor and can-do optimism. It seemed as if "no other management book," in the words of legendary investor Warren E. Buffett, would "ever be needed."
Instead, Winning uncovered an insatiable thirst to talk about work. Since the book's publication, the Welches have received literally thousands of questions from college students and seasoned professionals alike, on subjects ranging from leadership and global competition to tough bosses and building teamwork. Indeed, questions about virtually every business and career challenge have poured in—some familiar, others surprising, many urgent and probing, and all of them powerfully real.
Winning: The Answers takes on the most relevant of these questions, and in doing so, its candid, hard-hitting responses expand and extend the conversation Jack and Suzy Welch began with Winning. It is a dialogue that is sure to be both compelling and immensely useful to anyone and everyone engaged in the vital work of helping an organization grow and thrive.
Another great book by Mr. Welch Great book to complement his previous artwork "Winning". Every business person should read this great book.
Every biz person should have to read this book. My best section is "strategy for big and small alike" and " the danger of doing nothing" i think every businessperson has to read this book.
Read this book. It doesn't matter whether you read Winning. Whether you read Winning or not, you should check out this book. I purchased a copy of Winning and due to the fact that I had it autographed by Jack and the book is pretty long, I have never read it. I listened to the audio version and found it had some valuable insights, but a lot of filler. (I have read Jack: Straight from the Gut and was impressed enough to join GE upon graduating college.)
If you like Jack and Suzy's column in Business Week, you will like Winning: The Answers. I was able to finish this book on a 3 hour flight. The book is formatted as concise 1-3 page answers to questions readers of Jack's other works have come up with.
The questions are grouped into the main categories of: -Global competition (China!) -Leadership (being a better boss) -Management Principles and Practices (running a business to win / be successful) -Careers ("On Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of a Promotion") The above four categories take up ~200 pages.
The remaining two categories take up only ~40 pages: Privately Held, Winning and Losing.
New and old managers should find the chapters on Leadership, Management Principles, and Career progression very useful.
Buy this. This is excellent book explained in a very simple manner. Its worth keeping a copy for yourself.
Fantastic Business and Management Strategy Book! Jack Welch's common sense approach to business and the management of people has really helped guide my career.
