كتب هذا الكتاب (عن) جاك ويلش وليس بخط يده.
وقد منح هذا تعاليمَ (جورو القيادة) الشهير مصداقيةً كبيرة.

ليس السر في الرقم ٢٩، وإنما هو في بضع صفات عُرف بها الرجل على مدِّ عمره الطويل في الإدارة.
فهو في كل هاته الأسرار التسعة والعشرين كلٌّ واحدٌ لا يتجزأ ولا يتلون ولا يتردد. يمضي مضاء السيف، ولا يلوي على شيء.

يدهشك في نهج الرجل قدر انفتاحه، ووضوحه، وشغفه بالحياة و كَلَفِهِ بالإنجاز وهوسه بالتفوق.
وهو _لا جرم_ مدرسةٌ قدمت لمجالي الإدارة والقيادة مثالًا حيًّا، شاهدًا على ما لصاحب لقب القائد من شأن.
إن أحسن فلنفسه و لِبَنِي منظمته، وإن أساء فعليه وعليها.

Reading this book I realized that Jack Welch did what every good manager should do: "Cleaning the obstacles from his team's path in order to allow THEM to do their job". Jack Welch identified the problems and then consistently introduced changes in oder to tackle those problems.

The "secrets" or "strategies" discussed in the book should create more agile, communicative and self learning organization - one that puts quality as its top priority!

The feeling is "I read these so many times". Is it true? It is Jack Welch the source and everyone else a copy? Probably not. But I can't say. Still, it's quite boring, but if you get a chance to turn its pages for free while waiting for something or someone, than do it.

I read this as a book study for the administration program I'm doing. There were some forward thinking ideas but not sure many would work in administration. He brags about doing great things with GE but gives no credit to outside forces like the improving economy.

If you want to know how to successfully climb a mountain, ask someone who did it. Jack Welch did it in spades. While Jack Welch has a direct take no prisoners approach to not just meeting your goals but beating. In this small book Jack gives the Welch rules-don't fight the rules of success.This bible for leadership success takes you from accepting change to nurturing employees who share the company's values to removing boundaries to making quality the number one job of every employe. A no non-sense proven leadership template.

This definetely is a very good book to understand some key aspects that are based on the decisions and major behavioural patterns of great leaders and influential people.

It does give a brief of the points that are necessary to looka at and the way things are to be looked at while making some big decisions..!

Might be 2nd or 3rd book that I read and is worthit..!

[Vaishali · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not quite as memorable as a Tony Robbins or Brian Tracy book ... but hey, Jack Welch is the MAN. Very few human beings have transformed a struggling behemoth like him. So no matter what: when Jack says something, I'm listening.

Great from the start, touching on change, empowerment, quality, bureaucracy and the like. Worth learning from the legendary CEO and applying the rules in practice.

Enjoyable read on biz leadership and adapting

Well written. Hard not to learn something in this book that you can't apply to real life business practices today.
