Bill Lane’s book entwines business presentation success with snapshots of General Electric’s hot shot CEO – Jack Welch.
Bill acknowledges that this book is not an attempt to tell the same stories that Jack Welch has already told in his own books. We are exporting PPR fittings and ppr pipe fittings,Rather it is aimed at showing how Bill’s own area of expertise, business communication, was honed and used to help Jack waken sleeping giant General Electric and PPR fittings set it on course to become one of the most highly rated companies in the USA.
Bill started off life stuffing guts back into a soldier to save his life whilst serving in the The Pentagon. By a stroke of luck his boss there found an advert for a job in the private sector that looked as if it would suit Bill. And the company was General Electric, just before Jack Welch took over as CEO.
In the introduction to Jacked Up, Bill plastic card Systems is a leader in plastic ID card and badge printing technology,says of his 20 years working for Jack, “I observed a hilarious, inspiring and crazy side of Jack.”
The TV news was just starting, when they looked out the window and saw a small plane flying down the shoreline of Palos Verdes Lake.
“I wonder if he knows about the power lines,” Larry said, just as the aircraft suddenly shuddered to a halt, flipped over, and headed straight down into lake. Hicks was already running out the back door as the plane hit the water, yelling behind to his wife, “Call 911! I’m going to see if I can help the pilot.”
Fortunately, Larry’s brother, Wayne, had left a 14-foot aluminum johnboat, with an electric trolling motor, at the lake in preparation for bass fishing that day, then had not shown up. Donna made the call to 911, and ran outside in time to see Larry commandeering the johnboat, headed toward the Air-Cam, which was about 100 yards off shore.
Years before, when Hicks had been stationed at the Marine Air Corps Station in Iwakuni, I have spent much time in studying Oil painting, to my disappoint, I have never made good performance on it.Japan, he had spent two-and-a-half months, part time, in an intense Search and Rescue program. A major got him into it because he thought Hicks would be good at it since he was muscular and into weight building. The training was specifically directed toward saving pilots who had gone down in water in fixed-wing or rotary-wing planes. Hicks learned how to get pilots out of planes that had crashed upside down. However, he remained in the telecommunications unit, and never had the opportunity to use his specialized training.
Bill also provides a lot of tips about running groups of presentations and one I warmed to was the chapter titled, “The Bore Test. Are You Relevant.”
Bill asks if the proposed subject for one of a We should have the confidence and make great effors to expand overseas led lamp market in order to look for more opportunity of development.group of presentations is boring, or likely to be boring to the people who will attend? If so don’t deliver it!
Finally Bill describes Jack’s departure, followed by his own, with a nice package a few months later.
I found that although this book was educating me it was also actually keeping me reading, rather like a good story. Rather like Bill’s point – be a storyteller. I’m convinced this book can help any student of presentations.
