A Good Interview

This is one of the best interviews I have heard in a long time. The interviewer and interviewee are well suited, and it makes for a genuinely interesting and engaging conversation.

Great honest talk

Wish it was longer - particularly liked the clarity he makes about honest and candor - it’s being seeing things as they are.

20 minutes of audio gold

This is a really good interview where Jack really explains what it takes to get the job done. It’s funny how in soccer and basketball and baseball we cut the 10% when that happens in the workforce it’s looked at as cruel. Basically what Jackie saying is if you got what it takes to start it be on the team if you don’t you won’t be on the team

Great preview to book WINNING

Would you listen to Interview with Jack Welch again? Why?

Jack tells it like it is. No fluff and corporate buzz words. Does it take sense, if YES then execute.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Jack talks of honesty, getting the right people on board to run the operation, being realistic and not playing phony boring corporate games. Its about growing the operation and having a conversation.

Any additional comments?

A little tease, now I need more stories from Welch's WINNING book. A leader is your company energizer, follow the 20/70/10 Rule and give it all you got. Run the business like a man man.

Not bad for an interview course of the book

This is pretty much an interview with the author and it's pretty good. I'll start looking forward finding the book though so I can read it

Short interview

I thought that this interview will talk more deep about the book topic and the main idea. Also I thought since it is a short interview then it will be more focused but this is not the case here.
Anyway it was a 19 minutes interview and free.

just refreshing

it is nice to hear people who lived it, and loved it.
the nuturing of the top 20 and the 8 hours replacement strategy was an eye opener.
thank you

A good complement to the book

This interview is a nice complement to the book "Winning" and I suggest you listen/read the book first (which is a great one).
