Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

A great book by an icon

I’ve heard the hard copy of this book and the cd version for over 15 years. This is my first time of listening to it on audible, and it’s like I had never read it before. Undoubtedly a comprehensive business guide. I plan to listen to the book at least twice a year henceforth. It’s such a treasure...

Thoroughly enjoyed it

I like the war stories. Good advice from years in the trenches running an immensely successful company with a tough but fair culture

One of the best management book

This is one of the best high management book I've ever listened to. I recommend it

Winning

It is a down-to-earth and executive’s experience sharing book which tells you how executives think and you move up the career ladder.

Good Read

I like the fact that this book had a scenario for each topic discussed. The way it was explained could actually be visualized.

I recommend this book to anyone who desires to be an entrepreneur or in any type of leadership role.

Awesome

You learn winning from someone not afraid to tell truth. It is so much better than lots out there.

I write 4 on story as it favors corporate leaders in situation and action and doesnt fully apply to all leaders/organizations, but I respect it nonetheless.

Still good advice

lots of real world business advice from a man who has had much success. worth the listen

Outstanding Advice!

Simple, common sense, wonderful advice that will make you a better leader and help you WIN! Winning is fun!!! Don’t wake up to do anything other than WIN! This book helps you on your journey!

Great insights for aspiring leaders

I have listened to this book several times. It is entertaining and inspirational, filled with many useful and practical insights into business management and leadership.
Jacks Welsh reads the book himself and this conveys the emotion of the events he describes so much better than a professional narrator ever could. It's almost like being in the boardroom with him, understanding his thought process and how he works complex business problems towards a solution.
This book is so much more than an autobiography of Jack's time running GE.. it shines light on what goes on behind the closed doors of the boardrooms of billion dollar companies and shows that the difficulties and business decisions being made are no different than you are making in your own job today - - there are just a few more commas and bigger dollar signs attached.
For those who disagree with Jack's hard-hitting management style, there is a lot to learn whether you agree with his decisions or oppose them. As you listen to Jack explain some of the difficult situations he was faced with, you can decide how you would have handled the situation.
Overall a very useful and entertaining management and leadership workbook.

Amazing book! You Must read this!

Every day in life, there is a new question. That’s what keep us going (Welch, 9). Winning, is a book written by former CEO of General Electric (GE), Jack Welch. In his book, Jack, seeks to answer the question: What does it take to win? In twenty chapters, he attempts to answer this question by utilizing real life experience to address conceptual management philosophy, the innards of an organization, competition, leadership, one’s career life and more.

He touches topics such as the importance of a mission and vision that contain concrete values to cultivate the company culture, as well as hiring the right people to safeguard the culture while trickling success down the entire organization. In addition, he talks about the external environment, how to gain and maintain a strategic advantage, how to properly address budgeting, and what he refers to as one of businesses most dreary topics, Six Sigma.

Furthermore, Jack address your career. He maintains there must be a healthy balance between work life and personal happiness, while arguing that if you love your job, you’ll never truly work another day in your life. Most importantly, Jack teaches the reader about leadership; stating that once you become a leader, success is not measured by one’s ability to grow themselves, rather by their ability to grow others

This book is one of the best books Ive read to date... I highly reccomend.
