5.0 out of 5 stars Found it in A Library, April 30, 2001

John E. Anderson (Vandenberg AFB, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ultimate Rewards: What Really Motivates People to Achieve (Harvard Business Review Book) (Hardcover)

I was doing some reserach in the library about GE, CEO Jack Welch. I came across this book. I couldn't put it down. I finished half of it after work while on the tread mill working out. The book impressed me so much I oredered it for my personal use (Adjunct Professor). Kerr does a great job interviewing some super corporate executives; Welch-GE, Bossidy-Allied Signal and other superstars, Bill Walsh 49's Head Coach, and Peter Drucker. The book is formatted in an interview setting and let me tell you it's like you were sitting in their office, den, or living room getting the no b.s. answers to some pretty pointed corporate performance questions. This book is a must. Superbly written, great examples, and great ideas to assist you in becomming a better manager.
