Business the Jack Welch Way takes you behind the scenes to trace the remarkable career - and uncover the successful business strategies - of the man who's often called the most powerful CEO in America. What does he most value? How does he compare running gigantic GE to operating a corner grocery store? And how did the most acclaimed S.O.B. of the eighties transform himself into a role model of 21st-century management?
Jack Welch is perhaps the greatest corporate leader of the 20th century. When he first became CEO of General Electric in 1981 the company was worth $12 billion. Twenty years later it is worth a total of $280 billion. But Welch is more than just the leader of the most successful business in the world. He has revolutionised GE's entire corporate culture with his distinctive, highly personal management style: the individual appreciation of each of his 500 managers, the commitment to an informal but driven work style and the encouragement of candour are all part of the Welch approach. Following John Harvey Jones's MAKING IT HAPPEN and TROUBLESHOOTER, JACK is set to become the businessman's bible for the 21st century - an inspiration for a new generation of corporate players.
