JACK WELCH –Straight From Gut

JACK is undoubtly one of the successful CEOs corporate word ever had and it reflects from his tenure as CEO of GE which lasted ~20 years ,which normally is the total carrier of many people .And the level to which he took GE was commendable .
A Year back I have read the book by JACK “winning”.Before reading the book the only thing I knew about JACK was he been the CEO of GE . but things have changed ….i was impressed by this guy and the book.

And now i have picked up “Straight from gut”,I have only read intial few pages and the style of the book looks similar to the earlier one I read,and Yes this one seems to be impressive too.
One thing about JACK is he is straight forward in his approach as his book name suggests.
Somehow I am able to related it to myself and gives me confidance of my work style.I have been facing pressure due to my unorthodox style of working specially management .
Another thing jack recommends is never try to change yourself drastically alltough there is no harm in adapting to some extent ,but you can never change your real self and no need to try to.
He also at times in his books accepts about his failures and even some blunders he made in his professional life but the thing important here is he came as a winner out of it.

I will be reading this book in coming days and will put more stuff on this blog in coming days.
