I try to learn from business leaders when they do write books. And in the big picture one of the greatest has to be Jack Welch who ran General Electric for almost 20 years as the CEO...that`s unheard of. He wrote this book right as he was retiring from General Electric and he is very open about where he screwed up, what has worked and the struggles he has had with the company.
But his real passion has always been teaching and you can learn a lot from this book. Welch in essence created the foundations for six sigma to be brought into the business world and he brought forward a very workable set of strategies for a company that had divisions...everywhere. When he took over GE they were doing retail, diamond mining, health scanners and machines, light bulbs, leasing, airplane engines, refrigerators...the list went on and on.
And Welch with his strategy of being number one or number 2 in markets was smart for a conglomeration he was at the helm for. It let him see how the company was against the competition at all times and where the company needed to go...which is why they have thrived so much. He also got into how he would negotiate which makes for an even more interesting book. Anyone interested in corporate strategy this is well worth a read...
