...Jack Welch is one of the most successful business leaders in the world. He spent 40 years at General Electric. He retired in 2001 after spending 21 years as chairman and chief executive officer. His nickname at GE was Neutron Jack, because of the fact that 118,000 people left the company in his first 5 years at chief executive officer. Since he retired from General Electric in 2001, he has traveled the world giving speeches and lectures to business audiences. In his book, Winning, Jack Welch tells his story on how to win in business. Jack Welch wrote Winning after speaking to audiences all over the world. He summarizes the most frequently asked questions he has received over the years. The book is broken out into 5 main sections; Underneath It All, Your Company, Your Competition, Your Career, and Tying Up Loose Ends. In the first section, Underneath It All, Jack Welch talks about mission and values, candor, differentiation, and voice and dignity. Throughout his book, he talks about how other companies operate. One of them is Bank One. One of their values is “We treat customers the way we would want to be treated.” They identified some behaviors that made the value come to life. Some of them are: • Never let profit center conflicts get in the way of doing what is right for the customer. • Give customers a good, fair deal. Great customer relationships take time. Do not try to maximize short-term profits at the expense of building those enduring relationships...

...ALLERGY TESTING Perennial allergies result from airborne substances that are present all-year-round such as house dust. This causes congestion, an itchy nose that may also run, and itchy mouth and throat. House dust may contain mould and fungal spores, fibres of fabric, animal dander, dust mites, and bits of insects. Cockroach particles are often the cause of allergic reactions. Because more time is spent indoors during cold times of the year, allergic reactions are likely to be more severe in the winter. Perennial allergies usually cause allergic rhinitis symptoms but rarely allergic conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis may develop due to substances being introduced into the eye, such as eye drops or cream used to treat eye disorders, cosmetics such as eyeliner, mascara or face powder, and hair dye. The cleaning solutions used to clean contact lenses may cause reactions. Antihistamines are given to relieve the symptoms, but the person may have to take them 12 months of the year. Anaphylactic shock is the most extreme form of reaction and it can be fatal in not treated medically immediately. Anaphylaxis develops suddenly, the face, lips, tongue and airways start to swell, cutting off respiration. Anxiety, tightness in the chest and difficulty breathing are also present. Blood vessels begin to dilate (widen) causing a severe drop in blood pressure, this may lead to unconsciousness and shock. What to do if a client, or someone near you, suffers an allergic reaction: ...

...Winning the Lottery Winning or earning a substantial amount of money shouldn't only be used in luxury or having a high lifestyle. In the downfall of our long lasting recession that has lasted quite a while, really ought to be thought about considerably. I would choose to share it, as much as possible. So, for the lottery to even exist could be life changing to many people if anyone ever won. ever won. So, should we play the lottery? Should you be able to make a difference? Also, is the lottery really a dream come true? This is my take on what I could do and what should be done if I or someone should win the lottery. First of all, should we play the lottery? Money literally does grow on trees, but not exactly the way we wish it to. My mother used to obsess about the lottery spending tons of money on tickets. So, when I was real little I used to tell my mother all the time that when I grow up, I'm going to win the lottery and I'm going to buy a ton of homes like Jennifer Anniston. If she could do it, then so could I. As I grew older and watched my mother spend so much money on the lottery it somewhat changed what I thought about the lottery. I felt so terrible all the time because she would go into depression from spending all her money and couldn't figure out how to pay the bills. I've asked her “what are you going to buy if you ever win?” When asked, she could never think of one thing, but of course pay off her bills. I always told her; “if you didn't spend as much money...

...The Winning Kick In football, many games come down to the last wire to where many kickers seem to succeed while many others often fail. Kickers seem to fail under various amounts of pressure due to crowd noise, not good with pressure, or cannot seem to do their job so their team can count on them at in point throughout the season. But in this game, my team and I would not take failing or losing as an option. Waking up to my alarm sounding at early morning I really don’t feel like getting up as I try to sleep in as long as I can. With my dad calling my name from downstairs and constantly calling me on my cell phone, I finally awake my lazy self to get in the shower. As I get ready that morning excitement of a Friday rushes through my blood because it is the end of the day for school, and it is also the first football game of my senior year. I look in the mirror and think to myself how I would play that night but little did I know that it would be up to me to make the game count or not. Walking down the stairs, mom is yelling at me saying, “Bubba!! What do you want for breakfast?” My normal morning breakfast would usually consist of nothing as I never really motivate myself to eat breakfast. Going through my binder for school my family is constantly asking me questions about the day and if I have finished all of my homework the night before and if I’m ready for the game tonight and so on. As I’m rushed to leave out of the house because I am usually running late due to...

...Winning the War for Talent Tanya Iyer Winning the War for Talent The following paper gives you a few ways or strategies of organizations that want to attract, recruit and retain good talent. Major multinational corporations in the world are using the strategies mentioned in the paper successfully. There is also statistical data and empirically testable data to support this. In this day and age good talent is really difficult to find. In employment markets characterized by high competition, obtaining suitable human resources becomes increasingly problematic as the number of applicants per vacancy declines (Wilden, Gudergan, & Lings, 2010). There is so much competition and talent is rare. But how do you know which is the best for your company? More over once a company or a firm acquires the correct talent to retain this talent within the firm or company is becoming even more difficult nowadays. This constant struggle has turned into a fight. This fight is called the ‘war for talent’. Steven Hankin of Mckinsey & Company in 1997 coined the term war for talent (J.L.H.D, 2012). There are a few strategies that people or companies use to attract, recruit and retain talent in their firms. One of these strategies is ‘employer branding’. Employer branding is defined as the benefits of an organization that potential employees associate the organization with (Wilden, Gudergan, & Lings, 2010). With proper employer branding an organization can promote itself in such ways...

...Review of Winning by Jack Welch When former General Electric CEO Jack Welch reflected on the thousands of questions he has been asked over the years, he realized they could be summed up by one question, “What does it take to win” (Welch Pg.3). Welch believes when companies win, everybody wins and the world is a better place. In his book, Winning, Welch attempts to answer the question of what it takes to win. He uses his experience at General Electric, the experiences of close friends and other corporate examples to provide a detailed roadmap for creating the foundation and corporate culture required to obtain a competitive advantage and win. Welch outlines and details three central pillars to his winning formula: strong management philosophy, effective management, and a focus on competitive advantage. This review will discuss each of these three pillars and their key elements. Welch’s first pillar to winning is management philosophy. A company’s management philosophy forms the foundation of the company and is based on four principles: strong mission and resolute values, candor, voice and dignity and differentiation. The management philosophy and four principles are critical to the goal of winning as they are a recurring theme throughout the other two pillars. According to Welch, in order for a company to determine where it can profitably compete within an industry it needs a strong mission and resolute values. In defining a company’s mission and values, Welch cautions...
