More quotes by Jack Welch
Someone, somewhere has a better idea.
Jack Welch
If your CFO is more important than your CHRO (Chief Human Resource Officer) you're nuts!
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
What the Commission is seeking cuts the heart out of the strategic rationale of our deal.
Jack Welch
In any bad situation you can not let yourself be a victim.
Jack Welch
Some people have better ideas than others some are smarter or more experienced or more creative. But everyone should be heard and respected.
Jack Welch
Strategy is simply resource allocation. When you strip away all the noise, that's what it comes down to. Strategy means making clear cut choices about how to compete. You cannot be everything to everybody, no matter what the size of your business or how deep its pockets.
Jack Welch
Wright is a visionary with a great strategic mind, and he's a strong business leader with outstanding people skills, ... He's a terrific guy and will be a key force in guiding the company's future growth.
Jack Welch
Excellence and competitiveness aren't incompatible with honesty and integrity.
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
Be candid with everyone.
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
HR should be every company's killer app. What could possibly be more important than who gets hired?
Jack Welch
Take the middle 70 percent and tell them what they need to do to get into the top 20 percent.
Jack Welch
No vision is worth the paper it's printed on unless it is communicated constantly and reinforced with rewards.
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
Above all, good leaders are open. They go up, down, and around their organization to reach people. They don't stick to the established channels. They're informal. They're straight with people. They make a religion out of being accessible. They never get bored telling their story.
Jack Welch
Change has no constituency and a perceived revolution has even less.
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
The team with the best players wins.
Jack Welch
