The New GE

The New GE profiles Jack Welch and provides current and future leaders with invaluable insights into the personal and professional characteristics and philosophy needed to lead U.S. enterprises in this increasingly chaotic age. Welch contends that winning required finding the key to dramatic, sustained productivity growth and that productivity must become a cultural phenomenon. To do this, companies will be forced to move to the radical and to initiate a revolution that touches every person in the organization every business day-requiring speed, simplicity, and self-confidence.
