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''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

His championing of initiatives like Six Sigma quality, globalization, and e-business have helped define the modern corporation.

On the life and achievements of former chairman and CEO of General Electric Co., USA.

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.

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.
