'I can't imagine a CEO who wouldn't benefit from reading this book which highlights the key ideas and actions of one of this century's most remarkable business leaders, Jack Welch.'-Philip Kotler, S.C. Johnson & Son Distinguished Professor of International Marketing, Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Northwestern University.

Jack Welch is the most admired, copied, and studied CEO of the 20th century. His visionary initiatives and concepts-and adaptive management strategies-earned him the title of the most effective CEO in history. This alphabetically arranged, encyclopedic reference, The Jack Welch Lexicon of Leadership, provides an in-depth look at the methods that Welch used to turn GE into the world's most valuable corporation.

More than just a simple reference, however, this one-of-a-kind book traces the evolution of Welch's key ideas and innovations and provides analysis and perspective on Welch's historic-and immensely successful-career. Comprehensive and compelling in its no-nonsense examination of all things Welch, The Jack Welch Lexicon of Leadership:

Highlights breakthrough concepts for easy access and cross-reference. To help readers in their exploration of Welch, key concepts and ideas are designated by the 'Six Sigma' icon.

Applies Welch's prescient wisdom to today's demandng global environment. Examples reveal how Welch's insights can be used to address new problems in any organization: regardless of its size.

Chronicles the evolution of Welch's leadership thinking. Wherever possible, dates and chronologiy help trace Welch's evolution as a leader and his strategies which transformed grass-roots ideas into companywide innovations.

By adding speed, simplifying the complex, and cutting straight to the heart of the matter, Jack Welch was able to find workable solutions for virtually every challenge. The Jack Welch Lexicon of Leadership follows Welch's example. It defines and organizes the terms and programs that Welch used to rewrite the language of leadership, then creates a roadmap you can use to create Welch magic of your own-regardless of your organization's industry or competitive position.

Worthwhile distillation of the late management consultant Peter Drucker's ideas and philosophy.

I first discovered Drucker in a business class as a graduate student in Library Science. If you just want to dip your toe into management and you don't know where to begin, give this book a try -- it doesn't get technical and jargon-y until about two-thirds of the way through, and you can just skim over what you don't understand.

Jeffrey Krames does a great job. Excellent insight through extended interviews. One of my favorite Drucker books. Very fascinated by "Turning points" in Drucker's life.
