There is no straight line to a dream.
Jack Welch

Globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just to sell or to source, but to find intellectual capital - the world's best talents and greatest ideas.
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
Managers often hold on to resisters because of a specific skill set or because they've been around for a long time. Don't.
Jack Welch

Jack Welch
