The world listens when Jack Welch speaks

"Jack Welch has long been one of my heroes. When you read this book you will understand why."–Warren Buffett, Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway

"Jack Welch is a management genius who attacks life as he does business–with unconventional flair, a restless intellect, and no tolerance for phonies. And I’d say that even if he weren’t my boss!"–Tom Brokaw, Anchor and Managing Editor, NBC

"Jack Welch describes himself as ‘just a man in a room.’ Janet Lowe takes us into this room by letting the man speak for himself. Through his own words, it becomes clear why he is listened to and emulated all over the world. Big man, big room. "–Sam Nunn, Former U.S. Senator; Partner, King and Spalding

Here is just a sample of what you’ll find inside:

"If someone tells me ‘I’m working 90 hours a week,’ I say, ‘You’re doing something terribly wrong.’ I go skiing on the weekend, I go out with my buddies on Friday and party. You’ve got to do the same or you’ve got a bad deal."

"As I went to bigger pieces of GE, I found bigger bureaucracies, layers and all that stuff and it wasn’t friendly. Business was very serious–turf–boxes. Business isn’t that. Business is ideas and fun and excitement and celebrations, all those things."

"People have told me that their lives have changed because of me. I take away from this the sense that I'm on the right track."
"I believe you're here to live your life with passion. Otherwise, you're just traveling through the world blindly-and there's no point to that."
"Oprah's on." It's the catchphrase that inspires millions around the world to tune in to one of the most trusted women in the history of television. Almost everyone follows Oprah's every move. One word about a book club selection sends an obscure first novel rocketing to the top of the bestseller list. Oprah Winfrey possesses what is arguably one of the world's most influential voices.

Here are Oprah's opinions on everything from childhood and overcoming adversity to dealing with fame and staying real. Oprah Winfrey Speaks highlights Oprah's abiding faith, no-nonsense business rules, generosity, and love as well as her 10 commandments for lifelong success.

Here is just a hint of the wisdom you'll discover:

* "I am a woman in progress. I'm just trying like everyone else. I try to take every conflict, every experience and learn from it. All I know is that I can't be anybody else. And it's taken me a long time to realize that."
* "If you're angry, be angry and deal with it. Don't go eat a bag of Ruffles."

A blazing ball of contradictions and a genuine original, Ted Turner has been labeled a philanthropist and humanist, a fascist and a racist, a madman and one of the canniest entrepreneurs of all times. Hard-driving and hypercompetitive, he has amassed one of the world's largest personal fortunes, only to give much of it away to liberal causes, including $1 billion to the United Nations.

As "Terrible Ted" has proven time and again, behind his outrageous public persona lies one of the most highly disciplined and creative business minds ever. Beginning with a family billboard advertising company, Turner forged a global media empire, and in the process revolutionized television broadcasting. He pioneered the Superstation concept and founded CNN-the first 24-hour, all-news network-along with more than a half-dozen cable channels. Starting with the Atlanta Braves baseball team, Turner also assembled one of today's most lucrative sports conglomerates.

Ted Turner Speaks brings together hundreds of quotes drawn from a wide array of sources. Hear straight from the maverick's mouth the secrets of his phenomenal success in business, entertainment, and philanthropy. Here is just a sample of what you'll find inside:

"Exposure to defeat is a very important thing. Anyone who doesn't look to get beaten is doing a disservice to himself. "

"I may look like a clown doing back flips at a baseball game, but I'm a very deadly serious person trying to accomplish things just for the satisfaction of accomplishing them."

"I bet you're all wondering what it feels like to be a billionaire. It's disappointing really. . . . I've learned that great wealth isn't nearly as good as average sex."

"I give [the networks] hell because they don't serve the public interest. They look at the viewer the same way a slaughterhouse looks at pigs and cattle. They sell them by the pound to the advertiser-the same way they sell ham hocks and spareribs."

"My desire to excel borders on the unhealthy."

The world listens when TED TURNER Speaks

"Losing is simply learning how to win."

"The worst sin, the ultimate sin for me, in anything, is to be bored."

"I just love it when people say I can't do something. There's nothing that makes me feel better, because all my life people have said I wasn't going to make it."

"When you're little, you have to do crazy things. You just can't copy the big guys.

To succeed you have to be innovative."

"Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell, and advertise."

For the first time, business journalist Janet Lowe provides a lively and lucid introduction to financial genius Benjamin Graham's investment theories, presented in terms of both his life and his work.

Praise for Welch: An American Icon

"Welch: An American Icon is a thoroughly researched addition to your business library. No matter how much you have read about Welch, you will certainly learn something new by reading this book."
–George Eckes, Management Consultant and author of The Six Sigma Revolution: How General Electric and Others Turned Process into Profits

"Janet Lowe has written a fascinating and rewarding book . . . Welch is more than an icon. Lowe has identified Welch’s dynamic, rhythmic, and forward-looking, yet sometimes turbulent legacy, for many generations to come. That legacy sets forth basic principles, structures, and constructs for a twenty-first-century multinational industrial corporation that operates globally to facilitate the rate of change in zero time for shared and equitable prosperity at home and abroad."
–Dr. George Kozmetsky
Executive Associate for Economic Affairs
The University of Texas System

"God calls us to invest our time, our very lives, primarily in people, not in projects or possessions."—Billy Graham

Billy Graham is one of those rare individuals who has become a legend in his own lifetime. Recognized as the world's most famous evangelist, he has preached to more people than anyone in the history of religion. Billy Graham's influence, however, reaches far beyond the pulpit as he has become a worldwide crusader for religion, a spokesman for political and social change, and a sublimely successful businessman and fundraiser.

The wisdom and guidance he has offered the world are captured in Billy Graham Speaks, a unique portrait of the reverend in his own words—culled from sermons, newscasts, articles, and interviews. Graham talks about everything from marriage, children, and faith, to religious tolerance, leadership, and integrity, to popes, presidents, and ordinary people. He reflects on his life as an evangelist who has traveled the world and witnessed some of this century's milestone events, including the advent of racial integration in the South, the fall of Communism, and the social and political struggles in Northern Ireland and South Africa. He looks within to confront his own feelings of self-doubt and discuss his undying belief in God that has been central to his life for more than three quarters of a century.

Here is just a sample of what you'll find inside:

• "All over the world, whenever I meet people face to face, I am made aware of this personal need among the famous and successful as well as the lonely and obscure."
• "I'm looking forward to death. I'll be very happy to get out of this body and into the world that's being prepared."
• "As long as there is a soul to be won by Christ, I'm under orders by the Lord to go try to win that soul to Christ."
• "If anything bothers me, it is the thought that at Judgment Day I may find that I have not been as faithful as some other minister who is slugging it out day after day with few visible achievements . . ."

  The world listens when BILLY GRAHAM speaks "The more the archeologist digs and the more the scientist discovers, the greater the confirmation of the truth of the Bible."

  "Billions and billions of stars are out there, and behind them all is God."

  "It's going to be quite a revealing thing at the Last Judgment when we see everyone standing naked before God."

  "I am only a Western Union messenger boy, delivering a telegram from God to the door of humanity."
