What the Critics Say

"It's difficult to think of anyone in business who wouldn't benefit from reading this savvy, engaging cubicle-to-boardroom guide to success." (Publishers Weekly)

From AudioFile

It's a treat to hear the management icon read all 11 hours of this tightly written primer on winning. The title is an MBA-level course with the extemporaneous spontaneity of the author's stump speeches. His voice, along with a stunning collection of insights on managing people, somehow engages the heart and softens a leader not known for his softness. Based on questions that he says came to him from people in classes and in elevators, the book seems to hold nothing back. For such a well-organized and encyclopedic lesson, this is a remarkably personal audio by a gravelly voiced author who is not just any talking head. (c) AudioFile 2005

By: Robert (Reno, NV, USA)

Have always worked for small companies where I never had the benefit of the kind mentoring or meetings where this kind of knowledge is passed down. While I have struggled with his concepts of frankness and performance based evaluations I found the book very useful.

I have quoted this book extensively over the last several months and it has definitely helped.

I always struggle with some of these business bio books as to whether they are just “I am so great” exercises, but it’s not like he was running a dairy queen.

Protect your ears and sanity. Mr. Welch is incapable of narrating a book, yet chose to do so. Endless examples of GE stardom that has no relation to the title and stated intent of this book. Save yourself the time for more worthwhile activities. A complete waste.

Rating 1.0Rating 1.0Rating 1.0Rating 1.0Rating 1.0 "Nothing about winning, everything about Jack"
By: Jay (Stanton, CA, USA)
July 24, 2008
This audio book is a long winded boast about all of Jack's accolades managing GE and contains an accumulation of vague examples of how his experiences managing GE could some how apply to your life (in which he makes very weak connections). The only practical advice he gives comes in the last chapter, when he advises how to advance your career by stating the obvious, corporate ladder brown nosing. Get your direct manager to look good so that when he/she gets promoted, you'll get your promotion. Unless you would like to support Jacks retirement, dont get it, save your credit for something that is more coherent. I would have given it zero stars to help bring down it's over inflated rating. The marketing efforts for this book are about the only thing that I commend.

Great career Jack, it takes men and women who will sacrifice all to run the big Corporate machines. Not me, I choose a family and a life outside of what was described here. Thank you Jack for letting me see inside the curtain and choosing instead "Normal".
