Novalis, 2011. Paperback. Very Good. Texte francais, couverture souple. État d'usage: très bon etat. J'ai tiré de l'histoire des agressions sexuelles et de la réaction de l'Eglise une conviction inébranlable : l'Eglise catholique doit absolument se transformer en profondeur, et cette transformation devra être durable. De façon plus spécifique, elle devra s'opérer par rapport à deux réalités : le pouvoir et la sexualité. En 1994, monseigneur Geoffrey Robinson fut délégué par les évêques australiens au Comité national pour les normes professionnelles, qui coordonna la réponse de l'Eglise catholique d'Australie aux révélations d'agressions sexuelles. Il coprésida ce comité de 1997 à 2003. Les personnes qu'il rencontrera, les événements qui lui seront rapportés, et surtout le témoignage des victimes, changeront à jamais sa vision de l'Eglise. Dans cet ouvrage audacieux, il présente une critique méthodique de la manière dont l'Eglise catholique exerce le pouvoir, mais aussi comment elle en abuse. Qu'il s'agisse des déclarations infaillibles du pape ou de la prédication de pasteurs se réclamant d'une autorité divine pour chaque parole prononcée en chaire, il démontre avec rigueur comment l'ivresse du pouvoir ouvre les portes à toutes les formes d'abus. Bien plus que de dénoncer les abus, il propose des moyens concrets pour réagir à ces situations. Soutenant une vision de l'Eglise dans laquelle la maturité, la liberté et le dialogue seraient la pierre angulaire d'une autorité ecclésiale crédible, il prône un mode de gouvernance moderne et en appelle à un véritable renouveau du discours. Il s'intéresse plus particulièrement à la morale sexuelle dont il présente une approche à la fois riche et empreinte de compassion, et dont la personne humaine est le centre de gravité. Une parole courageuse, prophétique, visionnaire et libératrice., Novalis, 2011, 3, Simon & Schuster. Paperback. NEW. In his book, "New York Times Bestseller," journalist David Gelles delves into the controversial legacy of former General Electric (GE) CEO Jack Welch and argues that his leadership style and business strategies have had detrimental effects on American capitalism. Gelles contends that Welch's relentless pursuit of increasing GE's stock price at all costs, including massive job cuts and financialization, set a precedent for a cutthroat era of capitalism that continues to shape the business landscape today. When Jack Welch assumed the role of CEO at GE in 1981, he quickly became a celebrity CEO, rubbing shoulders with presidents and movie stars. Under his leadership, GE became the most valuable company in the world, but Gelles challenges the notion that Welch's success was solely due to his intelligence or business acumen. Instead, Gelles argues that Welch's achievements were primarily driven by his unwavering focus on driving up the company's stock price, often at the expense of workers, consumers, and innovation. One of Welch's most notorious strategies was his relentless campaign to downsize GE, resulting in the elimination of hundreds of thousands of jobs. This approach not only destabilized the middle class but also had a profound impact on the country's manufacturing base. Welch's obsession with downsizing led to the elimination of 10% of employees every year, fundamentally altering the company and inspiring imitators across the globe. His emphasis on mergers and acquisitions also contributed to an economy that became more concentrated and less dynamic. Furthermore, Welch's financialization of GE transformed the company from an admired industrial manufacturer into an unregulated bank. While this move initially boosted profits and kept GE's stock price rising, it ultimately undermined the company and many other Fortune 500 companies. Gelles argues that Welch's focus on increasing shareholder value by any means necessary, including layoffs, outsourcing, offshoring, acquisitions, and buybacks, became the norm in American business. The consequences of Welch's approach, according to Gelles, have been far-reaching. The pursuit of shareholder value above all else has led to the greatest socioeconomic inequality since the Great Depression and has harmed the very companies that embraced this mindset. Gelles highlights how Welch's disciples, such as leaders at Boeing, Home Depot, and Kraft Heinz, have perpetuated his strategies, further exacerbating these negative effects. However, Gelles also sheds light on a shift occurring in corporate America. He showcases companies and leaders who have rejected Welchism and are proving that it is possible to excel in the business world without sacrificing livelihoods, communities, and regulation. These examples offer hope for a more sustainable and equitable form of capitalism. In conclusion, David Gelles's book, "New York Times Bestseller," critically examines the legacy of Jack Welch and his impact on American capitalism. Gelles argues that Welch's relentless pursuit of increasing GE's stock price through job cuts and financialization set a precedent for a cutthroat era of capitalism that has led to socioeconomic inequality and harmed the very companies that embraced these strategies. However, Gelles also highlights a growing movement in corporate America that rejects Welchism and demonstrates that success can be achieved without sacrificing the well-being of workers and communities., Simon & Schuster, 6<

[EAN: 9781982176426], Neubuch, [SC: 2.9], [PU: Simon & Schuster Jul 2023], Neuware - New York Times BestsellerNew York Times reporter and 'Corner Office' columnist David Gelles reveals legendary GE CEO Jack Welch to be the root of all that's wrong with capitalism today and offers advice on how we might right those wrongs. In 1981, Jack Welch took over General Electric and quickly rose to fame as the first celebrity CEO. He golfed with presidents, mingled with movie stars, and was idolized for growing GE into the most valuable company in the world. But Welch's achievements didn't stem from some greater intelligence or business prowess. Rather, they were the result of a sustained effort to push GE's stock price ever higher, often at the expense of workers, consumers, and innovation. In this captivating, revelatory book, David Gelles argues that Welch single-handedly ushered in a new, cutthroat era of American capitalism that continues to this day. Gelles chronicles Welch's campaign to vaporize hundreds of thousands of jobs in a bid to boost profits, eviscerating the country's manufacturing base, and destabilizing the middle class. Welch's obsession with downsizing-he eliminated 10% of employees every year-fundamentally altered GE and inspired generations of imitators who have employed his strategies at other companies around the globe. In his day, Welch was corporate America's leading proponent of mergers and acquisitions, using deals to gobble up competitors and giving rise to an economy that is more concentrated and less dynamic. And Welch pioneered the dark arts of 'financialization,' transforming GE from an admired industrial manufacturer into what was effectively an unregulated bank. The finance business was hugely profitable in the short term and helped Welch keep GE's stock price ticking up. But ultimately, financialization undermined GE and dozens of other Fortune 500 companies. Gelles shows how Welch's celebrated emphasis on increasing shareholder value by any means necessary (layoffs, outsourcing, offshoring, acquisitions, and buybacks, to name but a few tactics) became the norm in American business generally. He demonstrates how that approach has led to the greatest socioeconomic inequality since the Great Depression and harmed many of the very companies that have embraced it. And he shows how a generation of Welch acolytes radically transformed companies like Boeing, Home Depot, Kraft Heinz, and more. Finally, Gelles chronicles the change that is now afoot in corporate America, highlighting companies and leaders who have abandoned Welchism and are proving that it is still possible to excel in the business world without destroying livelihoods, gutting communities, and spurning regulation. 288 pp. Deutsch, Books<
