NF Jack Welch: Business man's god, tough-talker, golden-parachutist, steely-eyed capitalist with a PhD. Yes the man has a hypertrophied frontal cortex, but he shoots straight from the gut. (Which phrase, oddly enough, makes me think of projectile vomiting.) Somewhere, because of this review's snarky tone, Jedediah Purdy is weeping. Sorry, Jed. Although I liked this book, I also found it unsettling. It is indisputable that Mr. Welch achieved phenomenal success as a businessman. But throughout the book, I kept wondering "Where is his family?" "What about his faith?" Mr. Welch and those around him apparently lived and breathed business 24/7 for most of their lives and achieved what they believe to be "success." While that life certainly doesn't appeal to me, I guess I'm glad that there are people who are willing to work that hard to create products and services that benefit me and others. On a side note, I had to snicker when Mr. Welch kept emphatically stating his commitment to "integrity." Anyone familiar with how his second marriage ended knows that he has problems in that area. This book had very little insight into the author's thought and decision processes and was more of a complete history of General Electric and it's executive team during the reign of Jack Welch. I would not recommend this book for someone that is not intimately familiar with General Electric and its major players. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
