If you ask me, Jack's an anachronism telling people to live unhappy so that they can make slow money and be happy. Jack, if you're not happy with what you're doing, you are not going to be happy!

Jack, if you're not happy with what you're doing, you are not going to be happy!

Got it rolled out and it was an immediate hit, reducing complexity and cost in the parts ordering system. Our reward? At the post project meeting, got handed envelopes that supposedly had our completion bonuses, only to find a pink slip and security waiting outside to escort us out, without even time to clean out our desks. It's been 26 years, but I still hate Neutron (like the neutron bomb, kills off the people but leaves the buildings intact) Jack Welch with the burning intensity of a hundred thousand supernovas.

(rings false). But I still like their advice, and think the workplace really does come down to competition. Then again consider where I spent the last 6 years! :-) Probably similiar to like Steve Ballmer talking about how important emotional intelligence is! (rings false).

So in a way you could say that Jack and Suzy are increasing magazine sales. But I still don't like them. This is my problem. I can't separate who they are from the advice they are giving. Jack is so, so competitive. And his whole life was about winning, and I don't see him as a particulalrly multidimensional guy who is finding innovative definitions of success. So hearing him talk about how you have to have your own version of success when his is so increibly conventional really rings false to me.

I actually like some of their advice, but then other advice I have been skeptical of. However overall I think they are on target. For example, I have this week's right here: 1) how to navigate a family owned business and 2) what defines success. Did you see that answer for #2? Not outmoded at all and IMO is spot on (winning isn't measured in only economic terms). Yah, he and Suzy's article started appearing every week in BusWeek a few months ago.
