This definetely is a very good book to understand some key aspects that are based on the decisions and major behavioural patterns of great leaders and influential people.
It does give a brief of the points that are necessary to looka at and the way things are to be looked at while making some big decisions..!
Might be 2nd or 3rd book that I read and is worthit..!
I read this as a book study for the administration program I'm doing. There were some forward thinking ideas but not sure many would work in administration. He brags about doing great things with GE but gives no credit to outside forces like the improving economy.
Reading this book I realized that Jack Welch did what every good manager should do: "Cleaning the obstacles from his team's path in order to allow THEM to do their job". Jack Welch identified the problems and then consistently introduced changes in oder to tackle those problems.
The "secrets" or "strategies" discussed in the book should create more agile, communicative and self learning organization - one that puts quality as its top priority!
