More quotes by Jack Welch
If your CFO is more important than your CHRO (Chief Human Resource Officer) you're nuts!
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
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
Jack Welch
The 1980s will seem like a walk in the park when compared to new global challenges, where annual productivity increases of 6% may not be enough. A combination of software, brains, and running harder will be needed to bring that percentage up to 8% or 9%.
Jack Welch
You can't behave in a calm, rational manner. You've got to be out there on the lunatic fringe.
Jack Welch
I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.
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
Again, your challenge is not just to improve. It is to break the service paradigm in your industry or market so that customers aren't just satisfied, they're so shocked that they tell strangers on the street how good you are.
Jack Welch
The productivity now at universities is terrible. Tenure is a terrible idea. It keeps them around forever and they don't have to work hard.
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
Trust happens when leaders are transparent.
Jack Welch
You have no right to be a leader if someone who works for you doesn't know where they stand.
Jack Welch
In order to lead a country or a company, you've got to get everybody on the same page and you've got to be able to have a vision of where you're going. America can't have a vision of health care for everybody, green economy, regulations - can't have a bunch of piece - meal activities. It's got to have a vision.
Jack Welch
Wright is a visionary with a great strategic mind, and he's a strong business leader with outstanding people skills, ... He's a terrific guy and will be a key force in guiding the company's future growth.
Jack Welch
Someone, somewhere has a better idea.
Jack Welch
The best way to support dreams and stretch is to set apart small ideas with big potential, then give people positive role models and the resources to turn small projects into big businesses.
Jack Welch
Change before you have to.
Jack Welch
If you can't energize others, you can't be a leader.
Jack Welch
When all is said and done, teaching is what I try to do for a living.
Jack Welch
Real change agents comprise less than 10% of all business people.
