In what is the most anticipated book on business management for our time, Jack Welch surveys the landscape of his career running one of the world''s largest and most successful corporations.

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. Welch has written a philosophical and pragmatic book that is destined to become the bible of business for generations to come. It clearly lays out the answers to the most difficult and important questions people face both on and off the job. 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 is a great read and a great business book.

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.

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.

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.

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.
