The success story of Jack Welch
Most admired bizman
August 5, 2008
"Jack is the Tiger Woods of management. All CEOs want to emulate him. They won't be able to, but they'll come closer if they listen carefully to what he has to say." -- Warren Buffett, Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway
In 1999, the Financial Times recently named him one of the three most admired business leaders in the world today. Welch is a business writer of a widely read weekly column -- The Welch Way, which he writes with his wife, Suzy Welch. This column appears in BusinessWeek magazine.
In 2005, the Welches were the co-authors of Winning, a No.1 Wall Street Journal and international bestseller. In 2001, he wrote the international best-selling autobiography, Jack: Straight from the Gut.
Welch is currently the head of Jack Welch LLC, where he serves as Special Partner with the private equity firm, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice and is a consultant to IAC (Interactive Corp). He advises Fortune 500 business CEOs and students around the world and also teaches a leadership course at MIT's Sloan School of Management.
