Jack (Abridged): Straight from the Gut Audiobook

" Intriguing, but about halfway through I git sick of listening to him brag about how rad he was. "

" Jack Welch is a fascinating guy and this was a very enjoyable book. "

" Great read and insights on Mr. Welch's rise from entry level to the top job in one of the biggest companies in the world. Actually did the audio book, which he narrated himself. Don't usually recommend audio books, but for autobiographies, believe it to add a special touch. "

" 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. "

" He has no regrets. "

" Great Book. Great stories on leadership, management, communication, and GE. "

" Nothing revolutionary about this book, but interesting to hear Jack's story from his own mouth. GE is famous for the way it handles its employee reviews, trimming the fat & promoting the best each year. "

" Want to know how to make quick decisions and have a thirst to become a CEO. This is a must read for you then. "

" Horrible! What an egomaniacal way to waste other people's time by having them read a steaming pile of lies and feces transcribed into hardcover. "

" 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. "

" Good book about entrepreneurship. "

" Just starting the book. Do not normally read autobiography. This is probably the third or fourth only. "

" Interesting...but not inspirational. "

" A should-read autobiograpy on leadership for knowledge workers, managers, directors, C-levels, and entrepreneurs. "

" I think Jack Welch is a very interesting and intelligent man.. I loved learning more of him. "

" Interesting! Bottom 10% of staff production are relieved of their duties regardless of color,gender or creed. Novel idea huh? "

" Written by Jack in a characteristic American twang....Jack he did nothing wrong...you don't get to understand the real Jack Welch...what you do get to meet is the Super hero Jack...self promoting endeavour "

" Well written! Gives a good insight into the man that made GE what it became! "

" A great biaography! Easy, entertaining to read and lots of ideas to about leadership and business development. "

" I became his ardent admirer after listening to his Business Week podcasts. This book literally woke me up from slumber. Brutal, sharp yet straight to the point, it cuts across fat and focuses on the real muscle! Every page is worth a read and making notes from! "

" I'm a nerd. Loved his book! "

" This is a fascinating autobiography of Jack Welch, GE's youngest CEO. Welch is objective, entertaining, and informative about his business ideas. His mother's influence is obvious. Welch describes his failures as well as triumphs. The story is interesting and entertaining. "

" So much for competition!? "

" A must read.highlighted complex situations with real life examples. "

" Loved this book! I need to read it again, and again, and again "

" Jack Welch is a straight shooter with some practical advice for leaders. "

" A lot of great stories and great advice for getting ahead at any level of corporate life. "

" Had some interesting ideas. Many of the suggestions he made seem great in theory but to implement them will take years to get them established. "

" Great book for anyone aspiring to lead an organization or a team. The Chapter on candor makes the whole book worth purchasing. The latter half of the book did not appeal to me as much as the first half. would have done fine to just read the chapter on candor. "

" Good reminders from a business giant. "
