Winning


Authors: Jack Welch
Publisher: HarperCollins

Reviewer: John Wilson


Of course Jack Welch needs no introduction, but this is a really good book for people who aspire to be effective managers as it gives great advice about how to deal with the demands of running and company and, most importantly, managing yourself. If only a small percentage of the companies in the world followed his advice in the chapter entitled ‘People Management’ the levels of motivation in companies would sky-rocket with an untold impact on their bottom-line!

The dust sheet of this book really provides all the information you need to persuade you that this is a book worth reading. It is a great book for those in leadership positions as well as coaches working with leaders. The thrust of the book is that leaders have a lack of awareness about their own psychological drivers. The book focuses on how inner personality (largely hard-wired from childhood) affects the way people lead and manage others.
