If you don't deliver, you don't earn the flexibility.
Jack Welch
People always overestimate how complex business is. This isn't rocket science. We've chosen one of the world's simplest professions.
Jack Welch
A leader's role is not to control people or stay on top of things, but rather to guide, energize and excite.
Jack Welch

Jack Welch
Real communication is an attitude, an environment. It is the most interactive of all processes. It requires countless hours of eyeball to eyeball, back and forth. It involves more listening than talking.
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
You can't behave in a calm, rational manner. You've got to be out there on the lunatic fringe.
Jack Welch
When I stop learning something new and start talking about the past versus the future, I will go.
Jack Welch
Approach every meeting with a purposeful, high-energy, ready-to-make-a-contribution attitude, and watch how fast leadership’s perception of you follows your behavior.
Jack Welch
Don't lose youself on the way to the top.
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 any bad situation you can not let yourself be a victim.
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
Change has no constituency and a perceived revolution has even less.
Jack Welch
In real life, strategy is actually very straightforward. You pick a general direction and implement like hell.
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
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
The team with the best players wins.
Jack Welch
