The ultimate business how-to book by the icon of American business and
one of the world's most revered and respected leaders, Jack Welch,
former CEO of General Electric.
Winning explores the changes of
recent times and the new economic realities, and more than that, it
identifies the central, immutable principals of doing business right and
doing it well.
"Winning is a book for the people in business who
sweat, get their nails dirty, hire, fire, make hard decisions, and pay
the price when those decisions are wrong," said Welch. "I see this book
as a handbook for people in the trenches, turning their companies and
the economy around, not just today, but for years to come. I think it
will be useful for people just starting their careers or their own
businesses to seasoned managers running multi-billion dollar
enterprises. I've learned an enormous amount about what works and what
doesn't work throughout my career and I'm very excited about sharing it
in Winning."
Welch will teach people how to win in business by
distilling his experience in three critical areas: working within an
organization, dealing with competitors, and handling matters of life and
career. Critical to Welch's writing such an accessible, useful guide is
his unique collaboration with his wife, Suzy, the former editor of the
Harvard Business Review, who brings expertise in management, writing
talent and a woman's sensibility to articulating the components of
Welch's success.
