Paraphrasing (2nd paragraph)

Text

Less well understood, however, is how Jack Welch is able to wield so much influence and power over the most far-flung, complex organization in all of American business. Many managers struggle daily to lead and motivate mere handfuls of people. Many CEOs wrestle to squeeze just average performance from companies a fraction of GE's size. How does Welch, who sits atop a business empire with $304 billion in assets, $89.3 billion in sales, and 276 000 employees scattered in more than 100 countries around the globe, do it?

The main idea of the paragraph

However, not much is known about how Welch has been able to wield so much influence and power over GE.

然而,就韦尔奇是怎样成功地对通用电气产生如此大的影响、实施如此多的权力,人们却知道的不多。

句子分析

Less well understood, however, is how Jack Welch is able to wield so much influence and power over the most far-flung, complex organization in all of American business.

1、这句是个倒装句,因为主句比较长。在此句中,“Less well understood”是谓语动词的一部分,它和“is”一起构成被动语态,作谓语;

2、how Jack Welch is able to wield so much influence and power over the most far-flung, complex organization in all of American business 是主语从句,因为比较长,也就被放在了谓语动词的后面。
