If you don't deliver, you don't earn the flexibility.
Jack Welch

Jack Welch
If we don't create private sector jobs and just - just creating public sector jobs, we're going nowhere. This is a bad game. You've got to have innovation. You've got to have tax policies that support innovation.
Jack Welch
Trust happens when leaders are transparent.
Jack Welch
I was afraid of the internet... because I couldn't type.
Jack Welch
The value decade is upon us. If you can't sell a top-quality product at the world's lowest price, you're going to be out of the game.
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
In every company, differentiation is never more important than it is in times of trouble, and that's the time when everyone tends to go to the well and equalize rather than differentiate.
Jack Welch
What is a budget review? A personal review with numbers
Jack Welch
Face reality as it is, not as it was, or as you wish it were. Be candid with everyone. Don't manage, lead. Change before you have to. If you don't have a competitive advantage, don't compete. Control your own destiny, or someone else will.
Jack Welch
