It's hard to think of a CEO that commands as much respect as Jack Welch。 Under his leadership， General Electric reinvented itself several times over by integrating new and innovative practices into its many lines of business。 In Jack: Straight from the Gut， Welch， with the help of Business Week journalist John Byrne， recounts his career and the style of management that helped to make GE one of the most successful companies of the last century。 Beginning with Welch's childhood in Salem， Massachusetts， the book quickly progresses from his first job in GE's plastics division to his ambitious rise up the GE corporate ladder，which culminated in 1981。 What comes across most in this autobiography is Welch's passion for business as well as his remarkable directness and intolerance of what he calls ”superficial congeniality”--a dislike that would help earn him the nickname ”Neutron Jack。” In spite of its 496 pages， Jack: Straight from the Gut is a quick read that any student or manage
The motivations behind today's most successful leaders and entrepreneurs come to a simple yet decisive explanation: there are people who give, people who take, people who match, and people who fake. Our world is filled with these givers, takers, matchers and fakers. Amazingly, those who succeed (not only personally but for their clients and companies) don't take or match. They give. (Although they're not necessarily philanthropic.) GIVE AND TAKE presents the fascinating secrets to givers' success. The results are unequivocal: givers gain big. Jack Welch, Richard Branson, Jon Huntsman Sr. - all of them are givers. In a world in which so many takers such as Bernard Madoff and Raj Rajaratnam have ruined lives and reputations, this book will reassure readers that the real power lies in becoming a giver. Since the vast majority of people aren't born givers, Grant not only presents the case for why givers win, he also offers their hidden strategies for winning.
