There used to be a television ad about EF Hutton brokerage firm, "When E.F. Hutton talks -- others listen!", picturing people stopping in their tracks to listen to E.F. Hutton. Now there is no E.F. Hutton, or the brokerage firm, and you might be scratching your head trying to remember who this was!
Jack Welch is different. His long term success at General Electric as their CEO is still remembered and he is still consulted. Since 2006 Jack Welch and his wife Suzy have conducted a weekly audio podcast in association with Business Week magazine. The podcast, called "The Welch Way" can be accessed via the Business Week website. You need Quicktime to listen to the podcast on your personal computer. Quicktime is an application included with most Windows operating systems.
Jack and Suzy Welch have covered a wide range of business topics from "Whose company is it?", "What's right about Wal-Mart?", "Good boss versus bad boss", "The real verdict on business", to "Customer loyalty's new rules", "Trim the fat not the service", "Work-life choices", and "Is China for everyone?". Business Week is providing a unique forum and access to one of the main business leaders of the last 20 years. When Jack Welch speaks, others still listen.
The library has several books by and about Jack Welch. One, Jack Welch Speaks: wisdom of the world's greatest business leader, will be of interest as predecessor to the current podcasts.
