Jack: Straight from the Gut
Jack: Straight from the Gut | Jack Welch, John A Byrne
2 posts | 4 read
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 New York Times 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.

Mehso-so

I stopped at 2/3rds, not bad but expected more practical management tips. Lots of trivial stuff.

I read this many years ago and it has stayed with me. I return to it it often as it has many great points on leadership. It is also a fantastic memoir in my opinion.
