| It is not only the deceptively simple style that draws me to the book. Each chapter, be it on appraising performance or dealing with ailing businesses, focuses on real leadership questions that we face everyday. |
| And Welch draws on this vast reservoir of GE experience to provide solutions, which are as original and relevant today, as they were, possibly 20 years ago. |
| Welch's observations are applicable to any business situation or any leader handling complex operational issues. |
| His emphasis on building great teams, learning from mistakes and confronting problems squarely, be it a wrong hire or a bad acquisition, are lessons that all of us can put to use. The personal anecdotes, featuring his former colleagues, peers or subordinates, make his views even more credible. |
| Finally, this book is fundamental to business without being prescriptive "" an attribute that one rarely comes across in management tomes. Welch's simplicity is disarming, but his passion for success is obvious. |
| And he unerringly strikes the right chords, making us realise why he was called the best manager in the world for over two decades. |
