It''s
hard to think of a CEO that commands as much respect as Jack Welch。
Under his leadership， General Electric reinvented itself several
times over by integrating new and innovative practices into its
many lines of business。 In Jack: Straight from the Gut， Welch， with
the help of Business Week journalist John Byrne， recounts his
career and the style of management that helped to make GE one of
the most successful companies of the last century。 Beginning with
Welch''s childhood in Salem， Massachusetts， the book quickly
progresses from his first job in GE''s plastics division to his
ambitious rise up the GE corporate ladder，which culminated in 1981。
What comes across most in this autobiography is Welch''s passion for
business as well as his remarkable directness and intolerance of
what he calls ”superficial congeniality”--a dislike that would help
earn him the nickname ”Neutron Jack。” In spite of its 496 pages，
Jack: Straight from the Gut is a quick read that any student or
manager would do well to consider。 Highly recommended。 --Harry C。

It
doesn''t matter whether you love or hate Jack Welch。 Who can resist
hearing the man tell his story? This abridged version of his
recently published autobiography， featuring Welch himself， is quite
entertaining。 With his slightly raspy Boston accent， Welch
discusses his childhood and his career。 When he proclaims
something， he gives examples to illustrate his point。 For instance，
he says his mother was the strongest influence on his life。 He then
recalls the time he threw a hockey stick across the ice in disgust
after losing a game， and his mother stormed into the locker room as
some teammates were changing to exclaim loudly， ”If you don''t know
how to lose， you''ll never know how to win。” When discussing his
long career at GE， Welch is equally detailed。 While some listeners
unfamiliar with the corporation may find some of the discussions
tedious， most will be captivated by what appears to be Welch''s
brutal honesty。 He talks about having to lobby for promotions
because he didn''t “fit the GE mold，” and he''s open about making
some poor business decisions。 He''s not as forthright as it appears，
though。 He talks about his beloved wife， Carolyn， who provided
a stable home while Welch was rising in GE''s ranks， but barely
mentions their divorce。 Still， this audiobook will be interesting
listening for anyone who has followed Neutron Jack''s career。
