Best Selling Books by Jack Welch

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

Jack Welch knows how to win. During his forty-year career at General Electric, he 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 chief executive officer of GE, he has traveled the world, speaking to more than 250,000 people and answering their questions on dozens of wide-ranging topics. Inspired by his audiences and their hunger for straightforward guidance, Welch has written both a philosophical and pragmatic book, which is destined to become the bible of business for generations to come. It clearly lays out the answers to the most difficult questions people face both on and off the job. Welch''s objective is to speak to people at every level of an organization, in companies large and small. His audience is everyone from line workers to MBAs, from project managers to senior executives. His goal is to help everyone who has a passion for success. Welch begins Winning with an introductory section called "Underneath It All," which describes his business philosophy. He explores the importance of values, candor, differentiation, and voice and dignity for all. The core of Winning is devoted to the real "stuff" of work. This main part of the book is split into three sections. The first looks inside the company, from leadership to picking winners to making change happen. The second section looks outside, at the competition, with chapters on strategy, mergers, and Six Sigma, to name just three. The next section of the book is about managing your career—from finding the right job to achieving work-life balance. Welch''s optimistic, no excuses, get-it-done mind-set is riveting. Packed with personal anecdotes and written in Jack''s distinctive no b.s. voice, Winning offers deep insights, original thinking, and solutions to nuts-and-bolts problems that will change the way people think about work.

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.

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.

General Electric, c''est l''entreprise créée en 1892 par Thomas Edison pour développer l''ampoule électrique qu''il avait inventée. Devenue un conglomérat gigantesque, GE opérait sans ordre sur un grand nombre de marchés au début des années 1980, quand Jack Welch en a pris la présidence. Aujourd''hui, GE produit toujours des ampoules électriques, mais aussi des générateurs électriques, des appareils d''imagerie médicale, des moteurs d''avion, des plastiques et des services financiers de pointe. Elle emploie 340 000 personnes dans 100 pays. Mais c''est surtout une des entreprises les plus admirées au monde et un fleuron de l''industrie américaine. Jack Welch tire les leçons de son expérience de grand patron charismatique. Issu d''un milieu modeste, il a su s''élever à force de talent et de volonté. A travers son histoire - où il livre sans détours ses plus grandes réussites et ses échecs les plus pénibles -, le lecteur découvre ce qui a fait sa force : savoir choisir les hommes, répartir les ressources et diffuser les meilleures idées. On retiendra parmi ces idées dont il s''est fait le champion et qui ont changé la face du monde des affaires : la stratégie du " numéro un ou numéro deux ", l''organisation de réunions à l''extérieur pour favoriser la libre circulation des idées entre les équipes (le " Work-Out "), l''université d''entreprise, l''intégrité, la mondialisation, l''accent mis sur les services, le Six Sigma, l''e-business. Et l''on voit de page en page comment ces idées se sont enracinées chez GE pour la transformer de l''intérieur en une entreprise incroyablement performante. La leçon de Jack Welch est impressionnante pour tous les responsables économiques. L''homme qu''on découvre au long de ces pages dégage un leadership exceptionnel. Et, même s''il a passé toute sa carrière au sein de GE, il donne l''exemple d''une étonnante capacité à se renouveler, à se donner des défis et à les remporter.
