More quotes by Jack Welch
No one is doing something in your business - getting a sale, having a key customer, working on an R&D project - doing anything that's more important than something you say is going to change the company.
Jack Welch
I was afraid of the internet... because I couldn't type.
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

Jack Welch
Protecting underperformers always backfires.
Jack Welch
When it comes to strategy, ponder less and do more.
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
Genuine leadership comes from the quality of your vision and your ability to spark others to extraordinary performance.
Jack Welch

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
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
If you don't deliver, you don't earn the flexibility.
Jack Welch
If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings and put compensation as a carrier behind it you almost don't have to manage them.
Jack Welch
The biggest opportunity for big companies has come by far in the digitization of internal processes.
Jack Welch
No vision is worth the paper it's printed on unless it is communicated constantly and reinforced with rewards.
Jack Welch
It's the internet like the flu - it just spreads like crazy.
Jack Welch
A company has only so much money and managerial time. Winning leaders invest where the payback is the highest. They cut their losses everywhere else.
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.
