![]() Winning: The Answers: Confronting 74 of the Toughest Questions in Business Today $12.95 This book is a continuation of "Winning", published in 2005. If you've found "Winning" exciting and thought-provoking, you will like this book too, but to a lesser extent, since it reiterates or illustrates the philosophy laid down in "Winning", and doesn't add any groundbreaking idea of its own. Nevertheless, there are some interesting questions answered, for example how to work for a company run by a family. This book continues the topic of interpersonal relations within an organization, the topic that was started by "Winning". Both of the books are not about execution or leadership, but about people and how they communicate with each other within an organization, regardless of rank or seniority. It can be applies to the front-line workers and to the bosses. But, nevertheless, we can see a slight shift of accents between the two books. While "Winning" is more dedicated to managers, "The Answer" is more dedicated to ordinary employees. But it doesn't mean that ordinary employees should not read "Winning" before reading "The Answers". Anyway, good books on interpersonal relations within an organization are very scarce. If you like this topic, I can recommend the books by Ronald Heifetz in addition to this book. ![]() WINNING $28.70 Jack Welch sabe cmo ganar.

I was wrong. Page after page, I stopped just long enough to capture my thoughts on paper about yet another insight triggered by the compelling text of this book. You will want to buy this book now, because you don't want to be without the knowledge within, that frankly, I've not found anywhere else. ![]() Winning $22.00 Jack Welch is considered by many to be the man, who transformed leadership. I do not fully agree with them, as he is the one who was able to blend best virtues of the "old school" and modern leadership. Welch's book "Winning" is the best of what he has written and offers a perfect mix of both his biography and his managing strategy. As he transformed "General Electric" to the new heights, every word written should be remembered as Welch, what I really like about him, does not beat around the bush and goes straight to the point. To sum it up, it is worth reading for every manager and every willing-to-be-soon-a-manager. In the end - tip for the lazy (or hurrying) ones: most important topics are written in bold or as a separate list of rules, so it is sufficient to read only those. |
