Customer Reviews

Insightful!
Jack Welch, the former chairman of General Electric, is still a heroic managerial figure to many businesspeople, and his wisdom has found its way into the book market in many and various ways. Of course, numerous books are available about Six Sigma, the managerial philosophy that Welch made famous. But Six Sigma was only part of Welch’s legacy. In this slim guide to the counsel of the man who earned the sobering sobriquet “Neutron Jack,” author Jeffrey Krames summarizes Welch’s philosophy in 24 leadership principles, followed by brief notes and exercises for training managers. We recommend this admiring condensation of Jack Welch’s managerial strategies as an introductory summary which may whet your appetite for a deeper look at Welch’s distinctive take on corporate leadership
