Jack Welch on Winning
I'm throughly enjoying Jack Welch's new book, Winning. It's beautifully written and complex stuff is explained with such frankness that it swept away my long held guru-inflicted ignorance in many areas. Here are some snippets of simplicity:
On strategy: " In real life strategy is actually very straightforward. You pick a general direction and implement like hell".
On best practice: "It's true that, once best practice is out there, everybody can imitate it, but companies that win do two things: they imitate and they improve."
On Six Sigma: "Six Sigma is a quality program that, when all said and done, improves your customer's experience, lowers your costs, and builds better leaders".
Also, check out Stanford Business School's video interview with Jack Welch on his book.
