Features: Jack Welch is one of the most outstanding professional managers of today. In the tide of the market economy, many large enterprises have been defeated and disappeared, while General Electric Company has firmly maintained its position as one of the world's largest companies, largely thanks to its CEO—Jack Welch. Over the past two decades of ups and downs, he has steered General Electric, this business, through storms and waves, always moving forward. The market value of General Electric has increased from $12 billion when he took over in 1981 to $280 billion today. Describing it as "wealthy enough to rival a country" would be no exaggeration. Welch himself is also widely recognized by the world as one of the most outstanding professional managers of his time. This book provides a systematic summary and research on eight aspects of talent importance: how to identify, select, use, motivate, nurture, respect, and lead talent. It is dedicated to professional managers, hoping to offer some valuable insights and references for friends in the business world. In terms of writing style, the book highlights two main points: First, it primarily uses case studies. The book selects a large number of cases from all over the world, both ancient and modern, so that almost every chapter includes examples from both eras. This not only increases readability but also enhances credibility. Second, in terms of language style, it emphasizes liveliness, wit, humor, and philosophical reflection, hoping that this book can provide some helpful assistance to professional managers and become a good friend to them.
