" Interesting to know which parts of the story of his rise to power one of the most revered leaders of the 90s chose to include and which parts he chose to exclude. Nothing revolutionary, not particularly well written. "

" It had some good nuggets about corporate america...and how he ran GE. It's an autobiography, but 98% about his work at GE, so sometimes it got sloooow. And over my head when they talk about stock options and deals. And Six Sigma. A glossary in the back would have been helpful. "

" Interesting...but not inspirational. "
