More quotes by Jack Welch
You got to be rigorous in your appraisal system. The biggest cowards are managers who don't let people know where they stand.
Jack Welch
A company has only so much money and managerial time. Winning leaders invest where the payback is the highest. They cut their losses everywhere else.
Jack Welch
Never miss out on an opportunity like a good recession.
Jack Welch
Change has no constituency and a perceived revolution has even less.
Jack Welch
If you have a reputation as a big, stiff bureaucracy, you're stuck.
Jack Welch
You are not a leader to win a popularity contest-you are a leader to lead.
Jack Welch
You have no right to be a leader if someone who works for you doesn't know where they stand.
Jack Welch
Insecure managers create complexity. Frightened, nervous managers use thick convoluted planning books and busy slides filled with everything they’ve known since childhood……. They worry that if they’re simple, people will think they’re simple minded. In reality, of course, it’s just the reverse. Clear, tough minded people are the most simple.
Jack Welch
Getting every employee's mind into the game is a huge part of what a CEO job is all about. Taking everyone's best ideas and transferring them to others is the secret. There's nothing more important.
Jack Welch
Companies don't give job security. Only satisfied customers do.
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
Genuine leadership comes from the quality of your vision and your ability to spark others to extraordinary performance.
Jack Welch
There's no such thing as work-life balance. There are work-life choices, and you make them, and they have consequences.
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
As a leader, you have no right to have any employee wonder how they fit in and where they are going.
Jack Welch
The thing it taught me was that winning's a helluva lot more fun than losing. It also taught me that the team with the best players that worked together the best wins.
Jack Welch
I’ve learned in a hundred ways that I rarely regretted acting but often regretted NOT acting fast enough.
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
Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be.
Jack Welch
It's the internet like the flu - it just spreads like crazy.
Jack Welch
