More quotes by Jack Welch
What Sam Walton did was to go into one of the most mature industries of all and find a way to make it grow, grow, grow, double-digit, month after month, year after year. He did it by innovation, customer focus, and above all, speed.
Jack Welch
Change before you have to.
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
No vision is worth the paper it's printed on unless it is communicated constantly and reinforced with rewards.
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
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
We know where most of the creativity, the innovation, the stuff that drives productivity lies-in the minds of those closest to the work. It's been there in front of our noses all along while we've been running around chasing robots and reading books on how to become Japanese-or at least manage like them.
Jack Welch
No one is doing something in your business - getting a sale, having a key customer, working on an R&D project - doing anything that's more important than something you say is going to change the company.
Jack Welch
Change has no constituency and a perceived revolution has even less.
Jack Welch
If you've got a company that has a mentality inside that is filled with searching for a better idea every day, not just as a slogan but as a real concept, you will have innovation around you all the time.
Jack Welch
In my lifetime, Mitt Romney is the most qualified leader I've ever seen run for the presidency of the United States.
Jack Welch
If your CFO is more important than your CHRO (Chief Human Resource Officer) you're nuts!
Jack Welch
They were making a deal for a property that clearly was a property that we wanted to own, so we had to act, and act as quickly as we could, and make the offer more attractive.
Jack Welch
The story about GE that hasn't been told is the value of an informal place. I think it's a big thought. I don't think people have ever figured out that being informal is a big deal.
Jack Welch
Control your destiny or somebody will.
Jack Welch
If we get the right people in the right job we've won the game.
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
Don't make the process harder than it is.
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
The team with the best players wins.
