Boardroom legend Jack Welch is widely regarded as one of the most effective CEOs in business history. Welch's groundbreaking programs--including Six Sigma and WorkOut--along with his numerous strategies on business leadership have helped transform GE into the global benchmark for maximized productivity and labor efficiency.

Now, The GE Way Fieldbook explains how you can implement the same programs that helped turn GE into a $100 billion juggernaut. Drawing from his unprecedented access to GE's top-level corridors of power--including a never-before-published full-length interview with Jack Welch--veteran business author Robert Slater packs innovative strategies, easy-to-use diagnostic exercises, detailed questionnaires, and more into the most hands-on, applications-oriented book ever written on General Electric.
