As Jack Welch's speechwriter for 20 years, Bill Lane sat within the gates of corporate power. His job provided him with unique opportunities to witness and often participate in the legendary General Electric CEO's epoch-making actions.

He details Welch's boldest moves and his most impetuous decisions; his skillful consensus building and his decisive responses to adversity. Serious business readers will be particularly attentive to his description of Welch's obsession with effective communication; everybody will enjoy the boardroom gossip. A valuable tutorial on getting your message across corporate divides.
