It is well written and contains a great deal of interesting information.
If not already familiar with Jack Welch, this book is a great introduction and overview of his many accomplishments and business techniques.
If you are already a Jack Welch fan, Lexicon of Leadership will provide you with new insights to the reasons for his continued successes, and does a much better job than previous "Jack Welch" books in capturing the essence of his business strategies.
For any individual in business, this book can be used as a roadmap to success. The concepts tht Jack Welch employed over his career are timeless, and Lexicon of Leadership has captured and explained these concepts in such a manner that they are immediately understood and can be transferred to today's business climate easily and effectively.
I found Jeffrey Krames' book to be an exceptional book introducing me to the business philosophies and strategies that Welch has brought into the world. Krames takes the time to clearly explain the concepts from impetus to actual practice and what the results were for GE.
Many of these strategies/philosophies can easily be applied to my position as a software salesperson. I know I will read other material on Mr. Welch, but the Lexicon of Leadership book will be kept in my office as a reference manual!
As far as this book is concerned, pass on it. If you are that interested in Jack pick up his own book or the Janet Lowe bio.
