• Jack Kills the GEnie
  Those who think Jack Welch is such a visionary should think again since in my opinion he cost the company billions.

• The Jack Welch Way is the Only Way
  I have read everything that has ever been written about the golden boy of corporate america - Jack Welch. He is a genious for our times and this book is just another example of his legendary managerial style. An easy read that is filled with key information to turn any company into an industry leader and any manager into a corporate leader. This book details everything a manager will ever need to know. A MUST BUY !!!!!!
