Winning: The Answers: Confronting 74 of the Toughest Questions in Business Today

Great book to complement his previous artwork "Winning". Every business person should read this great book.

Whether you read Winning or not, you should check out this book. I purchased a copy of Winning and due to the fact that I had it autographed by Jack and the book is pretty long, I have never read it. I listened to the audio version and found it had some valuable insights, but a lot of filler. (I have read Jack: Straight from the Gut and was impressed enough to join GE upon graduating college.) If you like Jack and Suzy's column in Business Week, you will like Winning: The Answers. I was able to finish this book on a 3 hour flight. The book is formatted as concise 1-3 page answers to questions readers of Jack's other works have come up with. The questions are grouped into the main categories of: -Global competition (China!) -Leadership (being a better boss) -Management Principles and Practices (running a business to win / be successful) -Careers ("On Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of a Promotion") The above four categories take up ~200 pages. The remaining two categories take up only ~40 pages: Privately Held, Winning and Losing. New and old managers should find the chapters on Leadership, Management Principles, and Career progression very useful.

This is excellent book explained in a very simple manner. Its worth keeping a copy for yourself.

Jack Welch's common sense approach to business and the management of people has really helped guide my career.

I have the Book Winning in print and CD. After listening to it on CD, I had to get the print edition to write notes in the columns and use it as a reference along with his other book "The Four E's of Leadership". This book is a good contiuation of the conversation. If you are a student of successful leaders this book is worth the price. It gives a few more examples of real world situations.
