In the decade since their blockbuster international bestseller Winning was published, Jack and Suzy Welch have dug deeper into business, traveling the world consulting for organizations of every size and in every industry, speaking before hundreds of audiences, and, in 2010, starting their own fully accredited online MBA program, which now has approximately 1,000 students enrolled.
Going beyond theories, concepts and ideologies, they tackle the real stuff of work today. When you get down to it, they argue, winning in business is all about mastering the gritty, inescapable, make-or-break, real-life dilemmas that define the new economy, the old economy, and everything in between. Welch’s knowledge infuses The Real Life MBA with fresh, immediately applicable, sometimes even counterintuitive lessons about how to create great organizations, build high-powered teams, and forge fulfilling careers in today’s new business environment.
