Jacked Up: The Inside Story of How Jack Welch Talked GE into Becoming the World's Greatest Company

Leadership through communication at GE’s peak

If you like business books that feel close to the action, this one has that rare insider energy. It argues that Welch’s real superpower was not just strategy, but the way he used words to move an enormous company faster and sharper. Readers who enjoy leadership, corporate transformation, and behind-the-scenes perspective will likely find it lively, revealing, and more personal than a typical management book.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

An inside look at the genius of GE. Bill Lane was Jack Welch's speechwriter for 20 years. In the first book by a GE insider, Lane shows that Welch's immense success as a leader came from Welch's ability as a master communicator. Welch launched a communications revolution that took GE from a ponderous supertanker of a company to what Welch called a high-speed 'cigarette boat,' capable of radical moves and rapid learning from the best institutions in the world. Jacked Up gives you a front-row seat to Welch's twenty-year campaign to transform GE. Lane's first-hand, fly-on-the-wall account reveals some of Welch's most vivid and exciting moments.
