" This book wasn't my favorite. I found the tips a little trite and the format was somewhat boring. But obviously, I'm no Jack Welch. "

" I started this book but couldn't finish. I could not get over the self consumed arrogant tone of Jack Welch. "
— John, 8/4/2013 -
" Simply fantastic. If you're at all interested in business, this is indispensable. "
— Jason, 7/25/2013 -
" Nice read. Manythings are those which you know but never applied and many things are which come with experience. There is a sharp contrast between Toyota Culture and GE culture. GE believes in keeping the best and throwing the rest out and toyota believes in cultivating the best. But both succeed. "

" Awesome book. My favorite management book ever. "

" It should be made a requirement that everyone, regardless of profession, read this amazing book. There is a reason why when Jack Welch was CEO of General Electric the company has become what it is today. "
— Shelley, 11/14/2010 -
" If you're in management I recommend this book! I loved the audio version because Jack Welch read himself. It's like receiving a direct lecture course from the best CEO of our time! I re-listen very often!!!!! Great! "
— Bree, 7/26/2009 -
" I recommend this book to any inexperienced college student who needs some insight into Corporate America. "
— Jerry, 6/11/2009 -
" He has some interesting ideas such as candor, but I feel that when it comes down to it he would not act as he believes. It was another one of my friend's recomendations. "
— Simon, 11/10/2008 -
" Mr. Welch gives any business person willing to listen the perfect outline to help you be successful in any business venture. Unfortunately, I have found that most businesses do the exact opposite of what Mr. Welch describes and thus continue to suffer problems. "
— Dstearman, 3/6/2007 -
" Really great book. I learned a lot that I can apply at work. "
— C, 8/2/2006 -
" Very good book to read for people who want to learn more about business. Great stories and examples for all to enjoy. "
