      Business advise. When he talked about being open with employees about the company situation, I thought of my experience where 2/3 of our work was moved out of state and management told us there would be no cuts - didn't believe it and turned out not to be true.

      The name says it all - in this book, Welch shares with us his secret to winning. It answers several questions on management and career asked of Welch during his travels around the world. Topics covered include setting corporate vision and mission; strategy; the value of candor; leadership; hiring (and firing); the employee-boss relationship; finding the right career (and keeping it) and more. His style is no-nonsense - he tells you like it is, cutting through hype and getting right to the core of every principle. You will find no magic formula here - in fact, you will realize how hard-earned success is. I liked the practicality and authenticity, as well as the fact that I was listening to lessons that Welch himself had learned - and proven - over four decades of his incredibly successful career. This is one book that you should read - or listen to, as I had done - over and over again, until its teachings become second nature. If you can get that to happen (and that's a big if!) you won't ever need career advice again.

      What a great book! A leader who transformed a company to be the biggest of the world at its time & who specifically explains how to win at the corporate & personal level is definitely worth reading & re-reading.

      Jack Welch is a very impressive leader who brought about very positive change and results during his time at GE. This book is an excellent collection of Welch's thoughts on business and leadership and whether your business is big or small, you are a CEO or a supervisor; you will benefit from reading this book.

      I'm a big fan of Jack Welch's leadership and writings. I'm not sure most people have the charisma to actually pull off what he did. But, this book is full of good advice that you should reference as you move through your career.

      I listened to the audio book read by the author whose accent can be hard to understand sometimes. Some good insights. Much of it is cliched. Lots of lists in terms of 4 rules top do this, or three things to look out for. As always putting the suggestions in to practice is the challenge especially when most examples relate to big-big business
