Waiting for the product.
“I still don't have any comment about this book, because I've been waiting for it more than a month ago. Does anybody knows when I'm going to receive this book?

OK
“I think people gush over this book more than it deserves simply because Jack W wrote it. It certainly isn't "the last business book that will ever need to be written" though it's worth a quick read. ”

I did not like it
“This is one of many books giving suggestions on how to run company more efficiently, I did not read anything I have not heard before.”

hard hitting business thought
“CANDOR! in my opinion this is the main point of this book. in this pc and hurt-no-feelings country, it would be good to hear truth. both the political and business world, candor would produce better results than always trying to be seen as the nice guy. nice is good, but we all want to finish first.”

Why is Jack's name even on this book?
“Geez, for someone whose reputation as a micro-managing pit bull is well-documented in scads of books, articles and interviews, Jack Welch didn't seem to leave much of a mark on this book.

The "voice" on every page is all Suzy's, the writing is weak, and the content is pure consultancy pap -- bland tidbits and platitudes that don't begin to capture the no-B.S. personality of one of the most famous CEOs in history. Did Jack Welch actually have anything to do with this book? There's nothing here to convince me he did.
The somewhat ironic thing is that -- based on all we know about him -- if any employee had presented this manuscript to Welch as their best effort, he would have torn it to shreds for being the work of a low-energy, low-IQ hammerhead (with a few choice profanities thrown in for good measure). End of career.
But in this book, the "new" Jack indulgently gave his third wife free reign as she frittered away on her vanity project, and he allowed his name to be associated with the subpar result. Love is strange.
