More quotes by Jack Welch
They were making a deal for a property that clearly was a property that we wanted to own, so we had to act, and act as quickly as we could, and make the offer more attractive.
Jack Welch
Someone, somewhere has a better idea.
Jack Welch
When you were made a leader you weren't given a crown, you were given the responsibility to bring out the best in others.
Jack Welch
People aren't the same. Business is, in my opinion, all about the team that fields the best players. It's not about an idea. An idea goes away. Somebody catches up with it. It's not about a widget.
Jack Welch
For a large corporation to be effective, it must be simple. For an organization to be simple, its people must have self-confidence and intellectual self-assurance. Insecure managers create complexity, real leaders do not clutter.
Jack Welch
Leaders relentlessly upgrade their team, using every encounter as an opportunity to evaluate, coach, and build self-confidence.
Jack Welch
A good leader remains focused. Controlling your destination is better than being controlled by it
Jack Welch
The story about GE that hasn't been told is the value of an informal place. I think it's a big thought. I don't think people have ever figured out that being informal is a big deal.
Jack Welch
With leadership the question at the beginning of the day is, 'how far can we take this...how big can we grow it...and how fast can we get there?'
Jack Welch
It's the internet like the flu - it just spreads like crazy.
Jack Welch
One of the things about leadership is that you cannot be a moderate, balanced, thoughtful, careful articulator of policy. You've got to be on the lunatic fringe.
Jack Welch
What the Commission is seeking cuts the heart out of the strategic rationale of our deal.
Jack Welch
If you get the best people on your team, you've got plenty of time to do the things you like to do and can add more value to.
Jack Welch
I was afraid of the internet... because I couldn't type.
Jack Welch
Stretch targets energize. We have found that by reaching for what appears to be the impossible, we often actually do the impossible and even when we don't quite make it, we inevitably wind up doing much better than we would have done.
Jack Welch
Approach every meeting with a purposeful, high-energy, ready-to-make-a-contribution attitude, and watch how fast leadership’s perception of you follows your behavior.
Jack Welch
Business is a game, and as with all games, the team that puts the best people on the field and gets them playing together wins. It's that simple.
Jack Welch
Control your own destiny or someone else will.
Jack Welch
You got to be rigorous in your appraisal system. The biggest cowards are managers who don't let people know where they stand.
Jack Welch
Take time to get to know people. Understand where they are coming from, what is important to them. Make sure they are with you.
Jack Welch
