Jack Welch is perhaps the greatest corporate leader of the
20th century. When he first became CEO of General Electric in 1981
the company was worth $12 billion. Twenty years later it is worth a
total of $280 billion. But Welch was more than just the leader of
the most successful business in the world. He revolutionised GE''s
entire corporate culture with his distinctive, highly personal
management style: the individual appreciation of each of his 500
managers, the commitment to an informal but driven work style and
the encouragement of candour were all part of the Welch approach.
Following John Harvey Jones''s "Making It Happen" and
"Troubleshooter", "Jack" has already become the businessman''s Bible
for the 21st century - an inspiration for a new generation of
corporate players.
