WINNING is destined to become the bible of business for generations to come. It clearly and succinctly lays out the answers to the most difficult, important questions people face both on and off the job. Welch's objective is to speak to people at every level of the organization, in companies large and small. His audience is everyone from line workers to college students and MBAs, from project managers to senior executives. He describes his core business principles and devotes most of WINNING to the real "stuff" of work. Welch's optimistic, no excuses, get-it-done mind set is riveting. His goal is to help anyone and everyone who has a passion for success.

 One of the best, most insightful books I've ever read
This is truly one of the best books I've ever read. I've been following Jack for years and read his previous book as well as books written about him by others. Although I honestly expect to read the same thing in every Jack Welch book, I find a ton of new stuff. I even find new stuff in the same book as I re-read it. I've implemented many things he preaches and I can attest that they work! One of the most important things I learned from this book is how to be a great leader and a great general manager. It turned my career around significantly and gave me many new insights. I highly recommend this book to everyone! Way to go, Jack!
The best book on interpersonal relationships within an organization
After completing the first few chapters of the book I've got a feeling that mr. Welch is not good teacher, i.e. he cannot lay out the practices that helped him to succeed in GE. But after finishing this book I've changed my mind. Since that, I became sure that it is the best book on interpersonal relationships within an organization, ever written in English.
I am familiar with his previous book, "Straight from the gut", that was written in a very powerful tone. "Winning", in contrast, has a much softer tone, and resembles works by management consultants. But unlike the other books, this one covers basic interactions between the people in an outstanding way. And it doesn't matter what is the rank or seniority of the people. It equally applies to the front-line workers and to the bosses, and for all of them it would be helpful.
There are some readers that are disappointed by the book; they are comparing it with such titles as "Execution" by Larry Bossidy or "Good to Great" by Jim Collins. I think it is not practical to compare the books, since "Winning" is mostly about the way how people deal with each other, while two books above mentioned cover higher-level problems of organizations.
I only give five stars to few exceptional books, but this is the book to deserve it, because good books on interpersonal relations within an organization are very scarce. If you like this topic, I can recommend the books by Ronald Heifetz in addition to this book.
If you hate reading printed books, I can recommend an unabridged CD version, published by HarperAudio. It also contains valuable bonus tracks, where Jack Welch is interviewed by the CEO of HarperAudio.
 Waiting for the product.
I still don't have any comment about this book, because I've been waiting for it more than a month ago. Does anybody knows when I'm going to receive this book?

 OK
I think people gush over this book more than it deserves simply because Jack W wrote it. It certainly isn't "the last business book that will ever need to be written" though it's worth a quick read.
I did not like it
This is one of many books giving suggestions on how to run company more efficiently, I did not read anything I have not heard before.
