Tips for Winning, in business and perhaps life

Would you consider the audio edition of Winning to be better than the print version?

I would not say that this is better than the print version, however is a great addition. As it really compliments the print version really well.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jack Welch who is at the heart of this. It is about his views on winning, so intrinsically he is at the heart of this

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I think it was the overall essence of book ...which is a simple concept around winning. I personally like how well it is structured. It is simple and easy to understand.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The section on leadership and how to work though difficult times, like working for a bad boss.

Any additional comments?

It is a good book that is brought to life the simplicity of some business issues. Winning is not easy there are some easy rules that one needs to follow. Overall the book was insightful and inspiring.

Practical, needs guts to execute.

I usually do not write reviews but this review is sort of giving back. The books real & practical management guidelines. But the concept here are not wishy-wishy leaders who have illusions. This more hardline/ real approach to management not a motivational book( like good to great )

Calling it straight

Enjoyed this book. Feel that a lot of key areas were addressed in a straight forward and candid manner.
Guidance was given for those that want to succeed yet at the same time the book gives advice on how to deal with set backs.
Recommend to anyone who wants to lead.
