- Reviewed in Canada on December 14, 2022Welch is one of the most interesting (and polarizing) figures of the late 20th century...What could've been a really insightful read devolved rapidly into a cancel manifesto by a writer who clearly doesn't like the man (or CEOs of large organizations) and detests everything modern capitalism represents and has achieved...Its hard to write a rant against someone who (on any objective measure) took a vast bureaucratic battleship like post-war GE and burned away the fat, grew it and turned it into the most profitable, fastest growing enterprise each of which sub-businesses dominated their sector in either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd position. And he mobilized and organized a vast managerial cadre in a way that we've not seen since World War II. "Focus and discipline" might best describe how Welch did it and he did it repeatedly. The author wants to lay the blame for every ill of the late 20th century on Welch's lap - (but would be happy to see Milton Friedman similarly buried...) If you are curious, read the first 6 pages...and you'll get the gist of what this shallow effort offers...One person found this helpfulReport PermalinkHelpful
