Jack – Straight from the Gut

Jack: Straight from the Gut – Jack Welch

«As CEO of General Electric for the past twenty years, he has built its market cap by more than $450 billion and established himself as the most admired business leader in the world. His championing of initiatives like Six Sigma quality, globalization, and e-business have helped define the modern corporation.

At the same time, he’s a gutsy boss who has forged a unique philosophy and an operating system that relies on a «boundaryless» sharing of ideas, an intense focus on people, and an informal, give-and-take style that makes bureaucracy the enemy. In anecdotal detail and with self-effacing humor, Jack Welch gives us the people (most notably his Irish mother) who shaped his life and the big hits and the big misses that characterized his career.»–BOOK JACKET.
