Stuart Crainer should be commended on his abilities in conducting secondary research studies. This book is full of references to recent books on management, leadership, and strategy by celebrated business Gurus; but then, how else would Mr Crainer have written this book without direct access to Jack Welch? Once one has accepted its second-hand nature, the unique business gems--true secrets--that do not apply to other known business leaders are thin on the ground. This reviewer found three, of which two are attributable to Jack Welch and the other to Roger Stone. So here goes: 1. Don't do things in half measures (JW) 2. If you want to be content you should be a dog (RS) 3. Find good ideas, exaggerate and spread them around (JW). All in all, Mr Crainer has made an achievement in conveying to his reader a concise summary of GE's corporate history under the helmsmanship of Jack Welch. However, insights about the man himself are missing. The natural conclusion one makes is that Jack Welch's secrets are enshrined within the endless examples of business observation made by Gurus and not within the psyche of the man himself. --Ade AdekolaNow 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) Business The Jack Welch Way reveals the secrets of a management superhero.
