More quotes by Jack Welch
Simple messages travel faster, simpler designs reach the market faster and the elimination of clutter allows faster decision making.
Jack Welch
Take lack of candor. ... I'm not talking about boldface lying, but a tendency to withhold information. That behavior is far more common, and it frustrates teams and bosses to no end.
Jack Welch
If you don't have public hangings for bad culture in a company, if you don't take people out and let them say, they went home to spend more time with the family. It's crazy.
Jack Welch
Hierarchy is an organization with its face toward the CEO and its ass toward the customer.
Jack Welch
It's the internet like the flu - it just spreads like crazy.
Jack Welch
Number one, cash is king... number two, communicate... number three, buy or bury the competition.
Jack Welch
When it's time to let someone go, do it right. No surprises. No humiliation.
Jack Welch
I wanted to change the rules of engagement, asking for more- from fewer. I was insisting that we had to have only the best people...If you wanted excellence, at a minimum, the ambience had to reflect excellence.
Jack Welch
If you want risk taking, set an example yourself and reward and praise those that do.
Jack Welch
We know where most of the creativity, the innovation, the stuff that drives productivity lies-in the minds of those closest to the work. It's been there in front of our noses all along while we've been running around chasing robots and reading books on how to become Japanese-or at least manage like them.
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
They were making a deal for a property that clearly was a property that we wanted to own, so we had to act, and act as quickly as we could, and make the offer more attractive.
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
I believe social responsibility begins with a strong, competitive company. Only a healthy enterprise can improve and enrich the lives of people and their communities.
Jack Welch
The main social responsibility for a company is to win.
Jack Welch
...I think that ideally that is how a company works. It becomes a place of ideas, not a place of position.
Jack Welch
In manufacturing, we try to stamp out variance. With people, variance is everything.
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
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
Don't make the process harder than it is.
Jack Welch
