Winning

Jack Welch ruled GE with an iron fist, and they rose to the upper echelon of not only American businesses but the international marketplace as well. I wasn't too pumped to read this book initially, because it had an old guy on the front which gave me the impression of "a lecture is coming". This guy is wise, though. It's not a book about getting a job, although there is a chapter on career searching towards the middle of your reading. He talks about managing and working all aspects of the business, and this gives you a good idea of how companies operate today. I liked it because I took some of the points made in the book and turned them into interesting questions that I used in interviews and at career fairs. I did come away feeling smarter and more confident when talking about jobs and general company info with recruiters. I would definately recommend checking it out at your library or any bookstore.
