More quotes by Jack Welch
I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.
Jack Welch
Approach every meeting with a purposeful, high-energy, ready-to-make-a-contribution attitude, and watch how fast leadership’s perception of you follows your behavior.
Jack Welch
In the future, those who are not coaches will not be promoted.
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
The best way to support dreams and stretch is to set apart small ideas with big potential, then give people positive role models and the resources to turn small projects into big businesses.
Jack Welch
The biggest opportunity for big companies has come by far in the digitization of internal processes.
Jack Welch
The 1980s will seem like a walk in the park when compared to new global challenges, where annual productivity increases of 6% may not be enough. A combination of software, brains, and running harder will be needed to bring that percentage up to 8% or 9%.
Jack Welch
Take lack of candor. ... I'm not talking about boldface lying, but a tendency to withhold information. That behavior is far more common, and it frustrates teams and bosses to no end.
Jack Welch
For a large corporation to be effective, it must be simple. For an organization to be simple, its people must have self-confidence and intellectual self-assurance. Insecure managers create complexity, real leaders do not clutter.
Jack Welch
When you were made a leader you weren't given a crown, you were given the responsibility to bring out the best in others.
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
If we don't create private sector jobs and just - just creating public sector jobs, we're going nowhere. This is a bad game. You've got to have innovation. You've got to have tax policies that support innovation.
Jack Welch
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
Jack Welch
Real change agents comprise less than 10% of all business people.
Jack Welch
You have no right to be a leader if someone who works for you doesn't know where they stand.
Jack Welch
When it comes to strategy, ponder less and do more.
Jack Welch
I’ve learned in a hundred ways that I rarely regretted acting but often regretted NOT acting fast enough.
Jack Welch
If you don't deliver, you don't earn the flexibility.
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.
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?
