#1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestseller

“Jack is the Tiger Woods of management.” —Warren Buffett, Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway


They called him Neutron Jack. They called him the world’s toughest boss. And then Fortune called him “The Manager of the Century.” In his twenty-year career at the helm of General Electric, Jack Welch defied conventional wisdom and turned an aging behemoth of a corporation into a lean, mean engine of growth and corporate innovation. In this remarkable autobiography—a classic business book and runaway bestseller now updated with a new afterword by the author—Jack Welch takes us on the rough-and-tumble ride that has been his remarkable life.

From his working-class childhood to his early days in G.E. Plastics to his life at the top of the world’s most successful company, Welch tells his intensely personal story with his well-known fire and candor. And although it chronicles billion-dollar deals and high-stakes corporate standoffs, JACK is ultimately a story about people—from a man who based his career on demanding only the best from others and from himself.

“Mr. Welch displays the incredible force of personality for which he is deservedly famous. . . . JACK illustrates the single-minded, awesome determination of Jack Welch.” —New York Times

JACK is about something so rarely encountered in American life today. That something is called getting it right. Getting it really right. . . . The point of this book is to help us understand how Jack Welch got it done.” —Financial Observer

“This is a valuable, pungently written business book by a man who lights up every room he enters.” —Businessweek
