Discussion Guide: Jack, Straight From The Gut -- Learning From The Jack Welch Book

Jack Welch's book, Jack, Straight From The Gut, (with John A. Byrne) is sparking a great deal of interest among the reading public, whether businesspeople or not. As the head of General Electric, Welch built GE into a people factory--a place that generated outstanding management talent year after year. This talent snowballed the company's market valuation beyond anyone's wildest dreams. This SuccessTools discussion guide was developed for sharing four critical lessons from the book on how to develop a performance-based culture: 1) value people more than strategy, 2) reward the best, 3) four Es make an A player, and 4) be open to new ideas from anyone. Using quotes from the book to stimulate thinking, each section continues with insightful questions for discussion. SuccessTools is a BH SmartDoc which provides a way to think about and start a key element on a management to-do list.
