More quotes by 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
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
We've only been wealthy in this country for 70 years. Who said we ought to have all this? Is it ordained?
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
We bring together the best ideas - turning the meetings of our top managers into intellectual orgies.
Jack Welch
There is no straight line to a dream.
Jack Welch
Getting the right people in the right jobs is a lot more important than developing a strategy.
Jack Welch
I believe that in any initiative, you can't have a flavor of the month. When you believe something is profound in a company, you can not be a logical leader. You have to go to the lunatic fringe. There is no way that logic is what you need to change people.
Jack Welch
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
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
Failing to differentiate among employees — and holding on to bottom-tier performers — is actually the cruelest form of management there is.
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
If you're a leader and you're the smartest guy in the world - in the room, you've got real problems.
Jack Welch
You have no right to be a leader if someone who works for you doesn't know where they stand.
Jack Welch
No vision is worth the paper it's printed on unless it is communicated constantly and reinforced with rewards.
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
Managers can waste a lot of time at the outset of a crisis denying that something went wrong. Skip that step.
Jack Welch
I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.
Jack Welch
Real change agents comprise less than 10% of all business people.
Jack Welch
Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while.
Jack Welch
