Jack Welch Libri

Jack Welch, nel corso della sua quarantennale carriera in General Electric, ha condotto l'azienda al successo in tutto il mondo. Il suo stile di management diretto e trasparente, fondato sulla ferma volontà di essere i migliori, è diventato paradigma di eccellenza nel business, grazie alla focalizzazione sulle persone, sul teamwork e sui profitti. Il nucleo centrale del libro è dedicato alla vera "essenza" del lavoro e si divide in tre sezioni. La prima guarda all'interno dell'azienda, dalla leadership alla selezione dei vincitori, all'attuazione del cambiamento. La seconda si volge all'esterno, alla concorrenza, con alcuni capitoli dedicati alla strategia, alle fusioni e al metodo Six Sigma. La terza ha per oggetto la gestione della carriera.

Jack Welch is perhaps the greatest corporate leader of the 20th century. When he first became CEO of General Electric in 1981 the company was worth $12 billion. Twenty years later it is worth a total of $280 billion. But Welch is more than just the leader of the most successful business in the world. He has revolutionised GE's entire corporate culture with his distinctive, highly personal management style: the individual appreciation of each of his 500 managers, the commitment to an informal but driven work style and the encouragement of candour are all part of the Welch approach. Following John Harvey Jones's MAKING IT HAPPEN and TROUBLESHOOTER, JACK is set to become the businessman's bible for the 21st century - an inspiration for a new generation of corporate players.

Business the Jack Welch Way takes you behind the scenes to trace the remarkable career - and uncover the successful business strategies - of the man who's often called the most powerful CEO in America. What does he most value? How does he compare running gigantic GE to operating a corner grocery store? And how did the most acclaimed S.O.B. of the eighties transform himself into a role model of 21st-century management?

Since the Dark Ages, when Scots first played a form of golf, no sport has captivated its players and fans like this one. This book captures the essence of golf with a lively and authoritative history, stunning illustrations, and an exceptional collection of original writings. John Garrity, a senior writer for Sports Illustrated, offers a fresh take on golf's centuries-old narrative, exploring key personalities, pivotal events, advancements in technique and technology, and the global fascination with the game. The history is enriched by twenty personal essays from various literary low-handicappers, reflecting on topics such as the Age of Tiger, the challenges faced by club pros, the joy of winter golf, and the decision to step away from the sport. Accompanying the text are over 300 photographs and illustrations, including many rare and specially commissioned images, making this volume truly unique. Covering everything from the tee to the green and the clubhouse to the nuthouse, this book is an essential addition for anyone serious about understanding the game of golf.
