New Releases by Jack Welch

Os titãs dos negócios se unem para dar as mais valiosas dicas disponíveis no mercado em duas obras essenciais. Jack Welch esteve à frente da General Eletric por mais de vinte anos, onde aplicou uma mudança na cultura da empresa e foi responsável pelo crescimento exponencial da GE. Em Paixão por vencer, ele fala a partir de sua experiência como um vencedor sobre o que o levou a atingir tamanho sucesso, com conselhos indispensáveis a todos os profissionais – desde o estagiário ao CEO. E, em O MBA da vida real, ele e Suzy Welch, jornalista e ex-editora-chefe da Harvard Business Review, voltam com um conteúdo repleto de estratégias atemporais e a sabedoria que só os titãs têm, perfeito para quem quer ser o melhor no que faz. Com uma escrita didática, Paixão por vencer e O MBA da vida real são joias para quem quer superar obstáculos e atingir novos patamares na carreira, com determinação e foco.

Durante seus vinte anos como CEO da General Eletric, Jack Welch levou a empresa a crescer e a conquistar diversos mercados, mesmo enfrentando uma concorrência acirrada. Seu estilo honesto e determinado de administrar — com foco nas pessoas, no trabalho em equipe e na qualidade dos produtos — se tornou o padrão-ouro da indústria. Após sua aposentadoria, Welch viajou pelo mundo e, com palestras e simpósios, instruiu mais de 250 mil pessoas sobre sua maneira de gerir negócios. Inspirado pelo público e por seu desejo de demonstrar as regras da liderança objetiva, escreveu Paixão por vencer, obra clássica e indispensável no segmento empresarial. A obra de Welch é para todos — do estagiário ao CEO. Seus conselhos são tão universais que não importa quem você seja, que cargo ocupe ou se o lugar em que trabalha é um pequeno negócio local ou um conglomerado multinacional. Ao analisar o funcionamento de uma empresa, o autor mostra como se tornar um líder e fazer as mudanças acontecerem. Ele também reflete sobre o valor da concorrência e aborda estratégias, fusões e a famosa metodologia Six Sigma — o processo de qualidade que implementou na GE e que permitiu sua constante busca por excelência. Além disso, também há espaço para estudar o gerenciamento da carreira do próprio leitor, com conselhos para conseguir o emprego dos sonhos e alcançar o equilíbrio entre a vida pessoal e a profissional. Para vencer, basta ter paixão. E, para alcançar novos patamares em sua carreira, basta seguir os conselhos e a metodologia de um dos maiores pensadores empresariais de nossa época. Suba na escada corporativa, tire projetos do papel e assuma a liderança com Paixão por vencer.

Con uno stile di scrittura diretto e trasparente, che ne rispecchia il tipo di management, Welch si rivolge a tutti: imprese, lavoratori di ogni livello, neolaureati in cerca del primo impiego. Consigli pratici, aneddoti personali ed esempi tratti dalle proprie esperienze, per affrontare tutte le tematiche cruciali del business: l''importanza dei valori, la gestione della leadership, la scelta dei collaboratori, la pianificazione della propria carriera e il delicato equilibrio tra lavoro e vita privata. Un bestseller mondiale che ha cambiato la concezione stessa di lavoro, dimostrando ancora una volta che Jack Welch sa come vincere.

America’s most widely respected CEO reflects on his brilliant career at General Electric and reveals his business philosophy and unique managerial style. #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestseller “Jack is the Tiger Woods of management.” —Warren Buffett, Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway They called him Neutron Jack. They called him the world’s toughest boss. And then Fortune called him “The Manager of the Century.” In his twenty-year career at the helm of General Electric, Jack Welch defied conventional wisdom and turned an aging behemoth of a corporation into a lean, mean engine of growth and corporate innovation. In this remarkable autobiography—a classic business book and runaway bestseller now updated with a new afterword by the author—Jack Welch takes us on the rough-and-tumble ride that has been his remarkable life. From his working-class childhood to his early days in G.E. Plastics to his life at the top of the world’s most successful company, Welch tells his intensely personal story with his well-known fire and candor. And although it chronicles billion-dollar deals and high-stakes corporate standoffs, JACK is ultimately a story about people—from a man who based his career on demanding only the best from others and from himself. “Mr. Welch displays the incredible force of personality for which he is deservedly famous. . . . JACK illustrates the single-minded, awesome determination of Jack Welch.” —New York Times “JACK is about something so rarely encountered in American life today. That something is called getting it right. Getting it really right. . . . The point of this book is to help us understand how Jack Welch got it done.” —Financial Observer “This is a valuable, pungently written business book by a man who lights up every room he enters.” —Businessweek

Luego de que Jack Welch dejara General Electric y escribiera el exitoso libro Winning, junto a su mujer Suzy, se han dedicado los últimos diez años a viajar por todo el mundo dando conferencias, escuchando los problemas de los empresarios y recopilando experiencias reales de gestión en todo tipo de organizaciones y lugares.En este libro los autores van mucho más allá de las teorías, conceptos o ideologías, y se concentran en los problemas cotidianos que tienen todos los directivos de empresas y emprendedores.Un libro práctico que sintetiza toda la experiencia de sus autores con las necesidades reales y cotidianas de los líderes modernos.

Il processo strategico - così come l''abbiamo tradizionalmente conosciuto - è morto e sepolto. È irrilevante. Che fine hanno fatto le sessioni programmate di presentazioni sofisticate sui "trend" e sulle "competenze distintive"? E le riunioni preparatorie per creare il consenso dei "referenti interni"? Dimenticatevele. I mercati si muovono troppo in fretta per quei vecchi rituali. E cambiano troppo in fretta. Nel mondo del business si parla molto di teorie e ideologie per il futuro, ma per vincere, oggi come ieri, occorre dominare i dilemmi concreti - difficili e senza scappatoie - che definiscono la nuova economia, la vecchia e tutto ciò che sta in mezzo. Il capo è insopportabile, la carriera impantanata, il team senza entusiasmo, la strategia superata È questa la realtà aziendale, che nei 10 anni dall''uscita di Vincere! Jack Welch ha continuato a scavare ancor più profondamente, viaggiando in tutto il mondo per aiutare imprese di ogni settore a battere la concorrenza. Oggi, con l''approccio diretto che lo contraddistingue, il manager più autorevole nella storia del business offre soluzioni aggiornate e testate per vincere le nuove sfide personali e organizzative. Per tutti coloro che sono alla ricerca di consigli, privi di teorizzazioni accademiche, sulle grandi idee e sulle migliori tecniche da imparare oggi per sopravvivere domani. Perché l''unico status quo accettabile - ed entusiasmante - è la crescita.

The business titans and #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling authors of Winning return with a modern, essential guide for everyone in business today—and tomorrow—that explores the most pressing challenges related to creating winning strategies, leading and managing others, and building a thriving career. In the decade since their blockbuster international bestseller Winning was published, Jack and Suzy Welch have dug deeper into business, traveling the world consulting to organizations of every size and in every industry, speaking before hundreds of audiences, working closely with entrepreneurs from Mumbai to Silicon Valley, and, in 2010, starting their own fully accredited online MBA program, which now has approximately 1,000 students enrolled. Over the same time frame, Jack has advised more than seventy-five companies through private equity, and dozens more in a senior advisory role at IAC. Now, Jack and Suzy Welch draw on their experiences to address the biggest problems facing modern management—and offer pragmatic solutions to overcome them. Going beyond theories, concepts, and ideologies, they tackle the real stuff of work today. When you get down to it, they argue, winning in business is all about mastering the gritty, inescapable, make-or-break, real-life dilemmas that define the new economy, the old economy, and everything in between. Work is a grind. We just got whacked. My boss is driving me nuts. I’m stuck in career purgatory. My team has lost its mojo. IT is holding us hostage. Our strategy is outdated the day we launch it. We don’t know what our Chinese partners are talking about. We’re just not growing. These are some of the day-to-day issues the Welches take on. Coupled with Jack’s years of iconic leadership and Suzy’s insights as former editor of the Harvard Business Review, their new database of knowledge infuses The Real Life MBA with fresh, relevant stories and equally powerful solutions that every manager at any level can use right now.

"Jack''s book "UP FROM ASHES" is much more than a business person''s recovery from unfortunate circumstances. It is an account of a Christ filled life leading to a true relationship with the Lord. Jack is a shining example of relying on faith to guide one''s life in all circumstances." Dale A. Walter Bremer Bank, NA La Crosse President, SC WI CEO "Thanks so much for letting me read your book (autobiography)! I learned so much about you and Jann and it was just a joy & privilege to read! "An inspiring read! With all of life''s hard-knocks here''s the story of one man who just wouldn''t stay down. You''ll get a new outlook on life!" Corey Sateren Sr. Pastor Bethany Evangelical Free Church, La Crosse, WI For readers who have questioned their faith - this is a very inspirational and encouraging book describing the author''s faith in Jesus Christ while rebuilding his life after a fire that destroyed his multimillion-dollar business. He describes in detail his early life on a small apple farm, his courage and his ability through faith, to rebound and rebuild his business after someone tried to destroy it. A very convincing and persuasive story! His banker and financial supporter said it best after agreeing to refinance the author, "your integrity is your greatest asset." Psychologist, author of the book Psychoeducational Diagnosis of Exceptional Children, professor at NIU - Northern Illinois University and an administrator of a research and demonstration center and professor at IU - Indiana University. Dr. Milton Wisland

Jack Welch, die größte lebende Managementlegende, und seine Frau Suzy, erfahrene Autorin, legen nach: Auf den großen Bestseller »Winning «, der die Grundlagen des Managements erklärte, folgt nun mit »Winning – Die Antworten auf die 74 brisantesten Managementfragen« die ideale Ergänzung: Management in Reinform.

During his forty-year career at General Electric, Welch led the company to year-after-year success around the globe, in multiple markets, against brutal competition. His honest, be-the-best style of management became the gold standard in business, with his relentless focus on people, teamwork, and profits. Since Welch retired in 2001 as chairman and CEO of General Electric, he has traveled the world, speaking and answering questions. Now, he has written both a philosophical and pragmatic book, which lays out his answers. He begins with his business philosophy, exploring the importance of values, candor, differentiation, and voice and dignity for all. The core of the book looks inside the company, from leadership to picking winners to making change happen; outside, at the competition; and at managing your career--from finding the right job to achieving work-life balance.

In Winning, their 2005 international bestseller, Jack and Suzy Welch created a rare document, both a philosophical treatise on fundamental business practices and a gritty how-to manual, all of it delivered with Jack''s trademark candor and can-do optimism. It seemed as if "no other management book," in the words of legendary investor Warren E. Buffett, would "ever be needed." Instead, Winning uncovered an insatiable thirst to talk about work. Since the book''s publication, the Welches have received literally thousands of questions from college students and seasoned professionals alike, on subjects ranging from leadership and global competition to tough bosses and building teamwork. Indeed, questions about virtually every business and career challenge have poured in—some familiar, others surprising, many urgent and probing, and all of them powerfully real. Winning: The Answers takes on the most relevant of these questions, and in doing so, its candid, hard-hitting responses expand and extend the conversation Jack and Suzy Welch began with Winning. It is a dialogue that is sure to be both compelling and immensely useful to anyone and everyone engaged in the vital work of helping an organization grow and thrive.
