More quotes by Jack Welch
If your CFO is more important than your CHRO (Chief Human Resource Officer) you're nuts!
Jack Welch
Getting every employee's mind into the game is a huge part of what a CEO job is all about. Taking everyone's best ideas and transferring them to others is the secret. There's nothing more important.
Jack Welch
Public hangings are teaching moments. Every company has to do it. A teaching moment is worth a thousand CEO speeches. CEOs can talk and blab each day about culture, but the employees all know who the jerks are. They could name the jerks for you. It's just cultural. People just don't want to do it.
Jack Welch
As a leader, you have no right to have any employee wonder how they fit in and where they are going.
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
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
Jack Welch
We've only been wealthy in this country for 70 years. Who said we ought to have all this? Is it ordained?
Jack Welch
Strategy is not a lengthy action plan. It is the evolution of a central idea through continually changing circumstances.
Jack Welch
The best thing workers can bring to their jobs is a lifelong thirst for learning.
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
What Sam Walton did was to go into one of the most mature industries of all and find a way to make it grow, grow, grow, double-digit, month after month, year after year. He did it by innovation, customer focus, and above all, speed.
Jack Welch
If you've got a company that has a mentality inside that is filled with searching for a better idea every day, not just as a slogan but as a real concept, you will have innovation around you all the time.
Jack Welch
Every leader makes mistakes, every leader stumbles and falls. The question with a senior level leader is, does she learn from her mistakes, regroup, and then get going again with renewed speed, conviction and confidence?
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
There's no such thing as work-life balance. There are work-life choices, and you make them, and they have consequences.
Jack Welch
Ninety-nine point nine percent of all employees are in the pile because they don't think.
Jack Welch
If we get the right people in the right job we've won the game.
Jack Welch
The main social responsibility for a company is to win.
Jack Welch
Business success is less a function of grandiose predictions than it is a result of being able to respond rapidly to real changes as they occur.
Jack Welch
In the future, those who are not coaches will not be promoted.
Jack Welch
