Jack Welch
Hierarchy is an organization with its face toward the CEO and its ass toward the customer.
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
Every leader makes mistakes, every leader stumbles and falls. The question with a senior level leader is, does she learn from her mistakes, regroup, and then get going again with renewed speed, conviction and confidence?
Jack Welch
You can't behave in a calm, rational manner. You've got to be out there on the lunatic fringe.
Jack Welch

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 work is just going in every day and getting a check, it's an ugly life. When you can make work a meaningful purpose, you've hit the jackpot for people.
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
Face reality as it is, not as it was, or as you wish it were. Be candid with everyone. Don't manage, lead. Change before you have to. If you don't have a competitive advantage, don't compete. Control your own destiny, or someone else will.
Jack Welch
We have built a company with a business mix and operating system that will allow us to deliver record results in any foreseeable economic climate, ... We have just completed a very successful management transition and I've never been more confident about the company's future.
Jack Welch
I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.
Jack Welch
Trust happens when leaders are transparent.
