More quotes by Jack Welch

Jack Welch
If you can't energize others, you can't be a leader.
Jack Welch
With leadership the question at the beginning of the day is, 'how far can we take this...how big can we grow it...and how fast can we get there?'
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
When employees underperform, a leader tells them so.
Jack Welch
Cash is king. Get every drop of cash you can get and hold onto it.
Jack Welch
You talk about seeing around corners as an element of success. That's what differentiates the good leader. Not many people have it. Not many people can predict that corner. That would be a characteristic of great leaders.
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
Failing to differentiate among employees — and holding on to bottom-tier performers — is actually the cruelest form of management there is.
Jack Welch
If you have a reputation as a big, stiff bureaucracy, you're stuck.
Jack Welch
